The current condition of the forests in the western states is tinder dry. News
stories are aired to us of fires raging out of control in Colorado and Utah.
The smell of smoke is strong in my neck of the woods with the sun casting an
orangish hue in the early evening hours with cooled ash floating out of the
heavens. This resurfaces old memories as my early career with the forest
service found me on a number of wildfires. As I was washing dishes one evening, my wife
quipped to me that they need experienced fire fighters. I laughed and told her
that’s a young man’s sport.
Due to the current fire situation, firework bands and restrictions are
fast set in place. On July 4th, 1887 there wasn’t a restriction.

The highest scoring tie
BYU and San Diego State hold the record of
the highest-scoring tie in NCAA history. On Nov. 16, 1991, the Cougars and
Aztecs battled to a 52-52 tie. This record is expected to stand forever because
years later, the NCAA implemented overtime rules that prevent ties.
