I'm in CA so I already knew there was no CA 54th. But the Kimble account also refers to "Poe's Law," which according to Wikipedia states that "without a clear indicator of the author's intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views."

So he's giving people clues!
