Light night for this one

I am at heart a night person and I have a couple of early mornings ahead of me so I'm heading off early to the DaveCave(tm) to check email, do some work and head off to bed. Have an inspection at the store tomorrow with the County Fire Marshall. Saturday I start CERT training. I live in a small community and having this training is another tool in the box. Last Winter, we had major flooding and an earth movement that took out four houses. Looking out the dining/living room windows, I can see the summit of an active volcano. At this time, even with the recent rain, fire danger is at an all-time high with burn bans on all private land and campfires only allowed in commercially made firepits at campsites where there is a ranger on duty (personal propane and charcoal BBQ's are exempt). The valley we live in has burned twice in recorded history. Becoming a member of the Community Emergency Response Team is a good thing. A few other people are in this town but the more the merrier...
