    Posted: July 24 2018 at 4:13pm
I just received an email from my firing range I am a member of. The organizers have CLOSED the range due to the high fire risk in our area. I haven't seen this happen after many years as a member. I am not complaining at all and am totally in favor of that decision. I just thought I would post this thinking maybe you all have had your range close during high risk of fire.

You have to learn and understand Gnome-ish in order to understand "Hoadie's school of humour".
