a fire sent up a plume of black smoke in richmond this morning. the fire protection district said it burned through a stack of pallets in an area the size of half a football field in an industrial area on central street near the richmond parkway. the good news is we do not believe anyone was hurt. with a potentially devastating wildfire season already upon us, the governor announced today he wants to double the states budget for firefighting and fire prevention.

>> we are acknowledging the fact that we got beat every which way in the series. we have better baseball in a so i think we expected to play better but no rough series is explicitly unexpected. we need to turn the page quickly. >> the minicamps are going on but the falcons wide receiver julio jones was asked if he expects to be traded and he replied, i'm out of there. he's great when he's healthy, the falcons want a first round pick for him, well i want a ferrari, doesn't mean either thing will happen. kyle shanahan was the offensive coordinator in atlanta so you get a lot of speculation. but the 49ers don't have first round picks for the next couple years. we will have to see how it plays out. did you see the crazy crowds surrounding phil mickelson as he won the pga championship becoming the oldest major pga winner at age 50? he said it was unnerving

but exceptionally awesome. phil won his first term it in 1991 and becomes the first player to ever spend 30 years between tour winds. when asked about his biggest sacrifice he did not hesitate. >> food. i've got to eat a lot less. and i've got to eat better. i just can't eat as much. i have to let my body recover. it's also been a blessing for me because i feel better. i don't have inflammation and i wake up feeling good. so it's been a sacrifice worth making. >> it was amazing watching him play over the weekend, but like phil who amongst us hasn't looked down and said, another salad? really? must i? finally, a congratulations to golf championship and she's just a freshmamazing.
