In my home state of Oregon, we have II many miles of beaches along the " Pacific Ocean. One of my favorite ways to enjoy the view is to stand on one of the bluffs overlooking the ocean. In such places, there often are signs that read "Stand Back from the Edge," and these signs might be accompanied by a fence or barrier to reinforce this suggestion. In many places, the cliffs are undercut by erosion, and it is impossible to tell from above whether or not the surface is stable or if it might cave in at the next step. For this reason, the signs provide sage advice - I have no desire to have my next step be my last.
