It’s a Boy: Gender reveal party responsible for burning “the surf industry’s historical home” of California entirely to the ground!

Bad idea.

Ooooooee it has been hot outside for those lucky enough to call the Golden State home. Record temperatures from sunny San Diego all the way up to foggy San Francisco. Or maybe San Francisco is freezing cold like it is every winter (read: summer) but, in any case, scorching.

My Cardiff-by-the-Sea sky a smoky white with ash falling like manna, enhancing the oven-like feel.

The ash is a product of a massive fire blazing to the south and east.

Another monstrous fire is blazing to the north and east, near Yucaipa, and was sparked by a “gender reveal party” that used a “smoke-generating pyrotechnic device.”

One would have thought these sorts of gatherings would have been cancelled not due fire danger, of course, but because gender is now super uncool to claim.

Like, very lame.

But have you ever been to a gender reveal party? I have not and would not go if invited.

If California does burn entirely to the ground, Hawaii will have to fight it out with Florida for rights to use the title “the surf industry’s historical home.”

Do you have a horse in that race?

More as the story develops.
