Remember Smokey Bear’s famous slogan, “Only you can prevent forest fires…” Err, Climate Change.

Smokey’s Got A Solution For ‘Out Of Control’ Gender Reveal Parties
Gender reveal parties are destructive from top to bottom
CNN–If it weren’t already a bad idea to throw a party without proper safety measures during a pandemic, one that sparks a massive forest fire is just arsenic-laced icing on the poison cake. A California family set off a “smoke-generating pyrotechnic device,” causing a fire that is raging through the San Bernardino National Forest. The fire has burned thousands of acres, destroyed countless wildlife and may potentially cause a lot more devastation as the uncontrolled fire continues to burn.
Even Jenna Karvunidis, the blogger widely credited with popularizing gender reveal parties, has had enough, writing on Facebook this week: “Stop having these stupid parties. For the love of God, stop burning things down to tell everyone about your kid’s penis. No one cares but you.”
Smokey Says, “Only You Can Prevent The Coronavirus”
Looks like Smokey is gonna have to give this family a refresher course on ‘social distancing.’
A ‘Plague’ Of Californians
Some in Idaho want to stop ‘plague’ of Californians moving in
The Oregonian writes, “At a candidate forum in late October, he had a terse answer for the question: “If you were king or queen for the day, what one thing would you do to improve Boise?”
“A $26-billion wall,” he said, laughing, drawing out each word for maximum emphasis. As in build one. Around Idaho.
California bashing is a cyclical sport with a long history in the heart of Idaho’s Treasure Valley. Growth spurts have more than doubled Boise’s population since the 1980 census. Four months before federal counters hit the streets here that year, a Washington Post headline crowed, “To Most Idahoans, A Plague of Locusts Is Californians.”
