[Steppes] Joint War Practice - NOT, 01-01-2006

[Mike]

Heilsa,

A New Year - a new beginning
Different with temperatures above normal
Still no Rain - nor in sight for future
Acres burned numbered - quarter a million plus
Record highs for year to date
Records falling - hitting upper 70's to low 80's

A Joint War practice was called
Mood was colored from night before
Some better than others
Turned into two different bear pits running
No interest among among those who lead

Add in those who wish to wear mesh and heavy cloth
Came out and played as well
It was a good turn out for one and all.

And the weather has moderated, the usual reminder:

recommend 2 gallons of fluids and snacks to replenish your
energy levels. Plus, various types of snacks - cold pickles
- oranges - energy bars - etc... - Bring Chairs for you to sit upon.
- Perhaps a grill to heat drinks and/or snack food
- Dress for the weather and bring extra for additional layers as well.
