Last Saturday at Triple A was a bit of a bear to cover calls in a timely manner. On weekends there are only two dispatchers assigned and my new partner Sean gleefully bids me fare thee well at 10 pm to meet his hopefully fiance (effective July 29 if all goes well) and I clock watch and fret for two hours until the call center phones transfer to Headquarters AAA in Florida until 6 am when the madness begins again. Sean plans on popping the question on the 28th or 29th. I point out to him that ...

What man has to do in danger of nature is to strive to accomply it, never against it, for man is too powerless in the life-threatening situation. ...
Since I'm no longer writing, I've decided to post some work from the past. Here's one I wrote mere days before 9/11: 9/5/2001 HEAVEN ON EARTH?
