Nomex.


In California?!?

R-I-I-G-G-H-H-H-T!!!

In any firehouse, wild fire line, military flight suit, or auto
racetrack, you will find yourself up to your short & curlies in Nomex,
even in California.

I guess I was a little too subtle on that one.

Oh! All that sign indicates is, targets ahead.

....but in the catch and release program, if they make it across twice
without being hit they are allowed to pick lettuce for one season.

: using the following labeling convention:
: {SI Mandate}-{Shooter Nym}-{Shot #}-{Old}

There was a certain confessional aspect to that naming convention, since it
was really unnecessary: every shot was displayed with the date it was taken
anyway, extracted from the Exif data.

Sometimes I'd be too busy to go out shooting and would slip in pictures I had
taken for work. (Some of them were even a reasonable match for the mandate.)
It was either that or send in nothing, and Martha and I both wanted to
contribute whenever we could.
