sad...another tradition *IS* gone.........
A while back "Seedy Lane" posted a thread titled:
"sad....another tradition soon to be gone..."
related to "Bonfires" in California
While the link (to FOX News) in the thread was mostly correct,
lots of info was omitted - presumably for effect (shock and awe).
Hey, let's make mountains out of mole hills!
The SKY is FALLING!!
What was omitted?
It was started as a local issue in the City of Newport Beach.
Mega homes, worth mega bucks *very* close to the beach and the
offending fire rings. Actually, legit complaints!
Wind blows LOTS of smoke into 'em.
The South Coast AQMD became involved.
The AQMD's jurisdiction involves Los Angeles, Orange, and parts of
Riverside and San Bernardino Counties.
The Coastal Commission is/was not interested in trivial pursuit, LOL!
The "BONFIRE" issue only involved Los Angeles and Orange Counties.
*NOT* the state of CA -or- the 56 other counties in CA..
With a 7-6 vote, AQMD has ruled.
The fire rings within 700 ft of homes will have to be shut down or
re-located. Approx 60 of the 765 rings in Los Angeles and Orange Counties meet that criteria.. Next year they will be removed, relocated - or provided with an alternate fuel source (LOL).
What "RVers" (residents or tourists) in/to California will feel the pain of this "SAD EVENT"??
Basically *NONE* !!..:S..:R
*Unless* you happen to patronize Newport Dunes RV Resort in Newport Beach (with starting one-night rates of $90. and up).
Might add - it's a long way from the fire rings anyway.
And - the bottom SAD, sad "sky is falling" line:
("A little bitty tear let me down")
"Most beach fire rings in Los Angeles and orange Counties can stay"
As I posted in Seedy's thread....Much ado about nothing!!:R
But it was a good excuse for at least one poster to blame the "POTUS", - ROTFL!
