Also worth pointing out that these are "push" for people evacuating from the other side, the idea is to guide you to an exit as much as a firebreak. It's the same reason in commercial building stairwells you see swinging barriers on certain floors. The idea is you encounter it blindly on a stairwell, you know you are on a floor with an exit.

Electricity to door magnets is cut when a fire alarm is activated so the doors would be completely on free access.

Rabies and quicksand really did a number on our generation. I blame the fact that everyone read To Kill a Mockingbird and somehow the rabies fear stuck.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

It doesn't even look like he's trying to pet it, he's... offering his hand? What's he expecting the coyote to do?

Sniff it, maybe lick it, and then submit to petting. Because dogs just do that naturally, they weren’t bred and adapted to do that in preference to their original instincts over thousands of years

Even I, a person who has no pets or desire to have one, can recognize that its ears are back, and that is a sign of being NOT relaxed.

Also coyotes are wild animals, not loving pets. Like people who are good with dogs and have experience can calm down a stray, but coyotes aren't strays or even feral dogs, they're wild animals.

Yeah it was being cautious. I'm guessing that tourists had been offering food and it thought she was doing the same, it tried to grab the food and whoops all fingers

Ironhead. Mmm.


When I lived in a lovely little cottage in Massachusetts, we had a big party problem with coy-dogs. Coyotes that had bred with local domestic dogs. The nice thing about coyotes and foxes is that they were relatively little. Coy Dogs were regular dog sized and hunted in packs. On more than one occasion I'd be under my truck truck trying to fix something and all of a sudden realize I was surrounded.

I took to taking a bag of microwave popcorn under my truck when I was working on it, and when I realized I was surrounded, I'd throw the popcorn away from me.

Maybe I just trained a bunch of feral dogs to come visit me, but they never bit me.

I bet it was this, the fact that it approached and the way the nip was so gentle. Tourists here have made a habit of feeding squirrels and if you chill in the common they’ll sidle up and try their luck. If you hold out your hand without food you might get nipped as they check you aren’t pizza.

If you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.


A coyote followed us over like 6 holes on a golf course (yes I play golf, schad on me) and it loving ran down and fetched my golf ball and took it off to the side and started gnawing on it. I kept the tooth-marked ball as a souvenir lol.

poo poo got real when our friend dropped his pitching wedge on the side of the green and the coyote tried to pick it up and run off with it like it was a stick, though.

It was clearly being fed by a lot of golfers and I think it had to be destroyed by conservation officers :(
