Among the various meanings of the word "switch" offered in Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, I find that all of them are strongly suggestive of the relationship between Louis Coyote and myself:
"Switch:(1) to strike or beat with, or, as if with a switch. WHISK. LASH. (2) a: to turn from one railroad track to another: SHUNT. b: to move (cars) to different positions on the same track within terminal areas. (3) to make a shift in or exchange of (~the talk to another subject), (4) to lash from side to side –switchable, switcher."
