Strait of Hormuz Shuts Down, But Tecate Keeps Flowing in Pescadero

As escalating shipping disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz send global energy and commodity prices into a historic tailspin, local expats at the Todos Santos surf break agreed they will care just as soon as the solar-powered margarita blender runs out of juice. Unfortunately for the global economy, the swell is head-high, water temps are seventy-two, and nobody on the beach can even spell 'macroeconomic shock' over the sound of crashing waves. Analysts confirm that rising oil futures will likely impact shipping, though local resident Brad insists his rusted 1998 Ford Ranger runs purely on good vibes and bad tequila anyway.
