Heros

Where the rubber meets the road.

One of my friends spent the past week doing this. More than 400 feet collapsed at once. Mine fatalities are blessedly more rare these days but still awfully rough. They usually make the news but what with Katrina I hadn't heard of this one even on local stations. Rescue and recovery is sort of like the marines -- no one left behind.

Two other friends are leaving today, donating their truck, their trailer, themselves as drivers and workers, and the gas to haul it, to take a tractor trailer load of water (that a church bought, at cost, from a local food distributor) to Mississippi.

So Sam and Linda and Bill, you are my heros. I guess I'm just a faith without works is dead kind of goddess. Thank you.
