Well it is a pretty nice day here today. The fires here are slowly being controlled and the smoke is not real heavy now. I did see they have another fire up near Yosemite Park. We have had two more fire fighters killed in the past two days. One from Washington and I believe the other from Oregon. Those poor people are just worn out and are making mistakes now. I saw they are starting to dismantle the big center at the Anderson Fairgrounds. they had over 2,600 fire fighters camping there during these 3 big fires here. But they are leaving some of the stuff there as August and September are normally our big fire seasons.

I just got back from the range. I went over and shot a while and then talked to the NRA Instructor about how the next qualification class is going to be ran. I may go over when he gets it set up and run through it just go get familiar with it. He said it will have flash and shoot sections and use the FBI training method in some of it. I am familiar with some of their after dark stuff, but I believe this is something different they are going to try. Pitch dark, run the target down range flash the lights on for 1 second and then you have to fire at the target from memory. Before we used the small hold and squeeze flashlights to spot a target and then shot.
