NEW: The San Francisco Police Department is dressing up as inflatable chickens to catch speeding drivers going through crosswalks.
The officers are giving out citations to those who don't stop for the chicken crossing the road.
The gig is paying off as the department has given out about 40 citations with some fines costing upwards of $400.
"If you don’t see someone in a giant chicken costume, then we really have a problem," said police Lt. Jonathan Ozol to the SFGate.
"It’s having an impact. Drivers seem more aware, more cognizant. Certainly when they see the chicken."

Fun fact about the debate:
It’s the first time the Secret Service has allowed a convicted felon to get this close to the President of the United States.
Flaco's final necropsy results reveal "two significant underlying conditions .... a severe pigeon herpesvirus from eating feral pigeons ... and exposure to four different anticoagulant rodenticides ...."

In my first @ObsNewReview column for a while, I long for a world in which I don’t have to feel exasperated about Amazon any more.

Flaco spent his first 13 years primarily living for the benefit of people. As much as his story of survival and adaptation touched all of us, he was finally able to live for his own benefit in the past year.
