Blogging in Fire Season
My days this week were split between book-editing, another writing project, and fire-fighting -- or worrying about fires.
In late January I joined the little rural volunteer fire department, which seems in a way to embody what the Founders meant by "militia" back in the 18th century.
M. and I also signed up as volunteers for the Colorado Division of Wildlife -- we have had one training day and no projects yet, but that will change.
Tonight, Saturday, and Sunday I will be involved with more wild-land fire training. That is our main concern -- stopping wild fires that threaten structures -- rather than structure fires as such.
I have a stack of books to review. It is a lot easier to think about writing on a day like today: cloudy, a wisp of drizzle in the air, not much wind.

Just checking in. How is the fire fighting training going?
Training goes on. I am waiting to be issued my federal "red card," having passed the fitness test, hurray.
