Working tonight
Work tonight. It is around 3:30 in the afternoon and I've had the cats outside for their afternoon adventure in the backyard. Hot and humid and they did not complain about going back in.

The Yankees play tonight, while I sleeping. I'll catch the score after I get up around 10:30. Working at 11:30 and I'm only two miles from Stot and Shop, so I'll have plenty of time to shower, chow down and get there.

Went for a run this morning but I don't expect to do so tomorrow when I get back. I suspect we'll have a good load to throw tonight and that will be enough exercise for me for the day. But the good part is that tonight will be the last night crew duty for the week. I suspect I'll have to work Saturday Night, meaning Sunday Morning.

I've got to wonder if Bush or Kerry know about working third shift. There are a few million of us out there but it is like we're in the shadows. People get up in the morning and things are just there. As they are supposed to be.

Reading a new book from the library. Rising from the Rails is about Pullman Porters, all of whom were black, and what they did to keep white America happy and content while traveling on the railroads up to 1969. While I work third shift, they worked all shifts. We count our blessings. The author is Larry Tye, who used to work for the Boston Globe, and he's got a web site, or so the liner jacket says. www.larrytye.com

Close to time to crash.
Later
