Tuesday Sept 24th 1918 We’ve been on the range yesterday. I haven’t done so bad excepting on the moving targets where I failed to qualify. I don’t think I’ll make much of a sharpshooter though. My shoulder was sore after that first day but it feels better today. I went to San Jose on Sunday afternoon. It’s a pretty town or rather city, as it is about 50 thousand population. They have a beautiful park in the center of town with lovely flowers but there’s no very high buildings. They learned a lesson from the earthquake I guess. No mail for me today, first day I’ve been without for sometime. I’ll get some tomorrow I know. 21 Monday Sept. 30th 1918. I haven’t written in my journal for almost a week:- been out on the range shooting Didn’t make much of a record though Saturday afternoon Curley McFarland and I went over to Frisco. Stayed at Berkeley over night and went down to Golden Gate Park, in the afternoon and over to the Cliff House I was quite Taken up with the ocean dashing over the rocks. Will write more later on about it Saw a real parade in San Fran Saturday night and sure enjoyed it. It was hassling the Fourth Liberty Loan. Took two hours to pass us. San Fran is sure some noisy city.
