A Tribute to First Responders


Today is Labor Day in the United States so I thought this might be an appropriate time to pay tribute to all the first responders everywhere and especially to those in south Texas who have so bravely dealt with a storm catastrophe the likes of which has not been seen before.  I tip my hat and say thank you to all the brave men and women who so valiantly rescued their stranded and endangered neighbors.

  8. A most appropriate post, Sharon. I spent most of my career in the electric utility industry, and grew to admire the line workers who head out to restore service in the very worst conditions. I always thought it was amusing that in normal times I was pretty senior and a "big shot," but in storms, I was sent home because I was useless.
