More Modesto
Way to go Texans! What a great game. Such a nice reprieve from the tragedy in West Virginia. My heartfelt sympathy to all the families. I couldn't believe how it all played out. I feel the media is partially to blame - they are all trying to scoop the story, but not really getting reliable sources. When I heard the first report that only one survived I was incredulous and I wasn't sure who to believe. A truly sad night, but my prayers go out to the surviving miner.
It has been a strange day all around tainted by the miner's story. I showed up at my job today and spent maybe a total of 10 minutes with the engineer and then I was left alone to "make it better." It would have helped if I knew what was not good. Oh well, maybe tomorrow. Upon returning I locked myself out of the hotel. They were nice at the front desk. This is I think one of the best Holiday Inn Express I have ever stayed in. Who would have thought Turlock? Then as I was leaving the hotel to go grab a bite to eat a woman came running across the store stopping my car asking if I had cash to feed help her feed her four kids. I didn't have any cash on me, but I was distressed that this woman was in this situation, but then my cynical nature wondered if she didn't want money for booze or drugs. I am never quite sure how to handle these situations. Sometimes I give money and sometimes I just walk away, but what are you walking away from - a few wrong choices and that could be me.
Sorry for the downer entry, but it was that kind of day.
