Today is National California Day

Today is National California Day - my husband is from California, we met on an active volcano in California - yes, there is an active volcano in California . . . Mount Lassen - and we lived there a few years when our children were young, so I personally find the silly laws and interesting information about California to be, well, interesting! Whether you live in, or have lived in California or not, I hope you find this post interesting, too. Let's start with the silly laws, did you know . . . 

• It is illegal for women to drive vehicles while wearing a housecoat.
• In Blythe, you are only permitted to wear cowboy boots if you own at least two cows.
• Between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m., it is illegal to walk a camel down Palm Canyon Drive in Palm Springs.
• Flying a kite higher than 10 feet off the ground is also prohibited in Walnut.
• In Fresno, visitors cannot bother lizards at city parks.
