Warning Sign

For years coyotes have been a real problem in the coastside city of Pacifica.

The warning sign (right) posted on Mori Point is fake, however.

Says the sign, some behaviors “are cause for alarm.”

The list includes behaviors of the cartoon character Wile E. Coyote, including such worrisome activities as “Coyote dropping an anvil from a hot air balloon” and “Coyote in possession of a catapult.”

Another warning sign: if you see a bird with a "long tail and expressive crest" running toward you at high speed, get out of the way.

A coyote is likely to be chasing him; worse, explosions could soon follow.
