Yes, all us Californians are congenital idiots. I've never heard of a single case of similar idiocy involving anyone but Californians -- no matter which state they moved to California from.
My son, who lives in San Clemente, just called and told us a funny story. His father-in-law, who is visiting, woke the family at 4 this morning to tell them they had to leave because there was a tsunami on the way. Mike told him that it was ok because they are more than 200 ft. above sea level. They’re also about 3 miles from the ocean.
