From the SMC non-emergency email distribution, we learn:
At 11:45 this morning a mountain lion was seen in the vicinity of 6220 Skyline Blvd. in Burlingame, California. Fish & Game and Sheriff's Deputies are on scene investigating.
If you see a mountain lion DO NOT APPROACH IT, especially one that is feeding or with offspring. Most mountain lions will try to avoid confrontation.
Here are a few tips: Avoid hiking or jogging when mountain lions are most active—dawn, dusk, and at night. Keep a close watch on small children. If you encounter a mountain lion, do not run; instead, face the animal, make noise and try to look bigger by waving your arms; throw rocks or other objects. Pick up small children. For more information about mountain lions click here www.keepmewild.org
I'm not so sure about the "throw rocks" part but the rest sounds like good advice. This is the kind of cougar we don't want to see in B'game.
But the other kind of cougar is ok? The top of Summit is too close to the top of Hillside for me.

Just leave them alone and they will go away all by themselves.
Same with Coyotes, Racoons, and Canadian Geese.
Dogs,and Cats are a much larger danger to the public, and owners than 5 Mountain Lins just walking through the neighborhood...
By the way, was this sighting the same AM that Garbage Pick UP happened?

Glad to know you are back LW.
The site has been a little bit "pedestrian" lately.
Did you happen to attend the Burlingame Historical Society Sale?
I wonder how that went?
I have been to their "office" located in Washington Park...
It is beautiful and facinating.
A lot of work and thought has gone into that place.
I believe the people who work ther do so for no pay whatsoever.
Besides that Longcong, I have not seen any Phallic Photos of Phood from you recently.
I am looking forward to your next genitalia gastronomical giggle.
Still going to the Tax Free Food Zone?

I love this site Joe.
It reminds me of the Mid West-Wisconsin.
There is usually a "neighborhood radio station that broad casts the most mundane issues, City of 300 highlites:
Who went where on vacation
Who grew the best tomatoes, green beans, corn
When will that hole in the road be repaired.
I great placeto take a break and be reminded you are a part of a community.
You Matter.

Dear LW,
I am, and always have been a person of non-violence.
I am a HUGE fan of controversy.
Fortunately, I have never been a victim of violence either.(With the exception of being "given the bird" while driving.")
However, when I read your comments, and their delivery make me consider smashing my Monitor to pieces with a Hammer.
I must say, your comments evoke a primal reaction. Entertaining too.
Nevertheless, do you have any friends?
Where did you learn this new and damaging language?
Do you live in your Parents Basement?
