The air around Davis should be clear right about now, thanks to the efforts of hundreds of bored students with no classes to attend and plenty of loose rubble to throw at the skies.
According to a Facebook event posting, a horde large enough to fill the Chem 194 lecture hall several times over was planning to "Throw rocks at the smoke to make it go away".
"Alright comrades! Class was cancelled but let's still throw some rocks! Throughout the day, when you get a chance, just pick one up and throw it north and slightly east!" read a Facebook invite that had 3,500 listed as attending.
Organizers cautioned participants to, "...limit outside exposure, wear a mask if possible and don't exert yourself. Also please do not throw rocks at people, animals, cars, windows etc. We're just aiming at the smoke."

Ah, our millennial population . So smart.
In Boy Scouts, we used to say “rabbit, rabbit, rabbit” to make smoke blow another direction
Have they tried that?
Is this for real???????
We have truly become a society that values style over substance. I guess people without a core naturally gravitate to the superficial.
Parents and taxpayers paying for this ;lunacy. Sheesh!
Parents and taxpayers paying for this lunacy. Sheesh!
We had some pretty impressive snipe hunts.
What happened to rain dances?
Why don’t all you California Fruits & Nuts go piss on the flames??? You can put the fire out....
I thought this was going to be satire, then I saw the SFGate link. California is going downhill faster than i could ever imagine
Hope this link works...
Years ago, in the middle of a Texas summer on a construction site, I made a rain turtle. It began raining that afternoon and ended two days later. Kind of freaked me out....
The “party of science.”
I want a video of the mighty rock throwing efforts of these soy-boys.
In October 2020 events like this will literally (yes I know the meaning) result in votes.
Organizers will have forms to sign “show support for ending the fire” (or something). The forms will be “voter registration”, “mail-in/absentee ballot request”, and “absentee ballot”. Anyone who signs the forms will have voted for straight-D without knowing it - they just showed up to throw rocks and put out a fire.
Dems tested it in 2018 (and probably before). You can bet they will have millions (10 millions?) of votes in 2020 from getting people to sign things (mail-in ballots) without even knowing when they show up to a “rock throwing” activity.
I drew a top view of a turtle with a sharpie on a piece of wood (shell, feet, tail head,. ..it looked like a turtle....I then drove a nail in each eye and set it in the middle of the site. I have not made one since. Hope it helps. Sending prayers on top of that as well.
I think it’s just a little harmless bit of fatalism, a reflection of the reality that they can do nothing real to alter this bad situation.
Are they really that dumb? My 17 yr old grandson is smarter than that. They would have been better off clearing out all the dead debris and using the large pieces for firewood for the poor.
