The burn was a success! We
did three of them, actually. It was so much
fun! We got to ride in the back of a
pickup truck to get from place to place and then we got to play with fire
(safely). How could a day possibly get
better? By the time we were done the
land looked like it had been scorched by dragon fire. The ground was obsidian black and the smoke
dancing above it an alabaster white. The
flames themselves rarely reached above our knees and yet they burned so
fiercely that it only took a couple moments to singe my “fire proof”
gloves. Our team served 12 hours today
and we were ready to carry on when Sherry and her guys said it was time to call
it quits.
Now that the
adrenaline’s gone I am beat. Two things
before I crash. 1, eye contacts are life
savers when fighting fires as they protect your eyes from most of the smoke
(they are also very useful when cutting onions). 2, my Spartans won! Not only did they win, Payne set the NCAA
record for the most shots made consecutively.
He also scored 41 points, no big deal, just a school record and
all. Way to go guys! Don’t get cocky as everyone takes extra
preparation when they know they are going up against the March Madness wizard,
Tom Izzo. Congratulations on the record
Payne, here’s hoping you and your teammates can break a few more before the
tournament reaches its end! Good night
all and good luck on your many endeavors!
