America at it's best
I was riding West on RT 80 this morning when I came across a caravan of
35 electric utility trucks returning to Dayton, Ohio. As I passed them I was
truly moved realizing these guys had given up 3 weeks of hard 16 hr days
work 400 miles from home to help others.
I honked each truck as I passed giving them the thumbs up.
I thought about all the volunteers working to help others even when their own
homes had been destroyed, the churches providing food and shelter for
the homeless ones, the local and county equipment restoring the dunes
and clearing the roads, the state National Guard helping and patrolling.
Everyone working on their own and neighbor's houses, what was left of
them, not looking for a hand out.
The America I remember where people took responsibility for themselves
and revered their independence and freedom.
Clear away all the Big G BS and it's still there. A refreshing day.
