That trip into the motor-pool was surprisingly informative. A lot of the electrical systems are easily bypassed and I don't need to be rewiring the entire electrical harness.

Made a trip back to Reedley to get those maps and see if any of the soldiers recognize the markings on them.  On the way back to Lemoore I decided to drive up to Fresno and find out what's happening up there.

The short form of it is that the city is divided into three districts now. Everything north of the 180 is more or less controlled by the police force, while the southern half of Fresno is split in half by Highway 41 and controlled by two different gangs. the East is under the watch of the Bulldogs, and the west is controlled by the Italians. Most of the druggies were forced out into area around the 180/41 interchange. All three districts are pretty orderly, surprisingly, and they're allowing people to move between, however they're subject to going through checkpoints and outsiders can only go in certain areas. the police officers I spoke with said they were shocked at how organized the Bulldogs were so soon after the bombs hitting.

Back in Lemoore now.
