It's dry all right but not that hot, I practiced off-hand today.
Nature drys things up and we can't stop that any more than we can cap a volcano to halt greenhouse gasses.
It is Mans fatal hubris to think He's responsible, and then while blaming someone else ("It wasn't me, Jimmy started it!"), claim to be able to fix it. Yeh right, it's another political extortion racket. I'm not sure how to fix Sacramento without sending in a Vet in to really fix the "lawmakers" who steal our money every time they open their mouths, but that would be a most satisfying exercise.

My plan to flee socialist Britain to California has flaws it seems...thieving pols being the most obvious.
Sorry Thud! Maybe we can beat them back into their holes...
I'm headed to Sacramento in two weeks on a school field trip with my son - apparently the teachers are very excited about a new bronze statue of a grizzly bear in the state capitol...
The only thing that would fix California's problem would be to take everyone involved in both parties in the state to death valley and hit it with one of those "Mother of All Bombs." Granted, that'd kill off half the state knowing how political California is, but sacrifices have to be made for the greater good sometimes.
Nonsense! What you need for that there range is a Special Water Assessment District to make the hills all green again, plus a Service Tax your club could collect at the line from each shooter to pay for repair of divots in the now-green grass caused by errant shots, plus a Maintenance Fee to pay for a bonded and insured crew to clean up the range after each session, because that's obviously not a task for volunteers or club members -- they're not bonded or insured! They could get hurt! Which brings me to the additional insurance the club needs to cover the water system....
Kev - It's too much to hope that the bronze bear gets up on it's hind legs and takes a bite.
MikeT - Not a bad solution, but then we wouldn't be able to use (and *enjoy* using) all the free CALTRANS tar and the feathers we have collected - however it seems to me that asphalt might be a good, up-to-date, substitute for tar-and-feathers - and save money on a run to IKEA for feather pillows. ;-)
David - Fortunately or unfortunately (range-stimulus money?) the range is owned by the County. Goats eat the dried grass since mowers might spark a fire, and we can't shoot at the goats. :-)
