The contrast between that and the near-psychotic level of rails and warnings you see in major national parks here really struck me.
I love that! It was also really striking to me when we were in Grand Staircase-Escalante, how Disneyfied the parks are. It GSE, you can go anywhere, flood plains, slot canyons whatever. you're on your own. Which I admire.
Go BLM/national monument land.
IIRC, from conversations with Victor and Thessaly, ferrets are legal in MA.
List of domesticated animals: [link]
That list doesn't include humans.
so, a building collapsed on 100 & Bway? anyone know of this?
Will someone who doesn't understand gravity actually comprehend a warning label?
Gravity is just a theory. School districts prefer to teach "intelligent attraction" these days.
My understanding of a domesticated animal, from a scientific/archaeological perspective, is that morphological changes in the animal have occurred due to human contact. So, for example, the modern farm cow is a lot different from the wild cow ancestors of the steppes. Mink that are kept at a fur farm may have a human-productive use, but they are morphologically unchanged from wild mink and are not domesticated by this definition.
I have a photo of the sign down on the cliffs in northwest San Francisco, warning about sudden waves that might wash people away.
I do believe Victor's and Thessaly's ferrets are on the lam from the Mass. State Police. Or more to the point, they couldn't buy them in Mass., but nobody stopped them from being imported from elsewhere. Just like fireworks!
"Object is not immune to the laws of physics"?
Every office I've worked in, that has a TV, has it on a tall wheely stand with those Universal Language Pictures on the side, of a guy pulling it from and having the TV fall on his head. So, not only are warnings like that necessary, they already exist.

Gravity? Please. If gravity exists, why can't we see it? Since we can't see "gravity," attraction between objects obviously must be caused by magic, some sort of supreme being, angels, Satan, or the Harry Potter books.
