With the election looming, the brass has cancelled all days off from November 3rd to November 9th. I will be working 11 days straight.

God save us all...
People are literally blaming the election, President, et all for their problems.
Stay safe RD. I can't believe we're having to live through this nightmare

I am angry. This web of friends and community is becoming "threadbare"
Blame?

People need to eat.
They need shelter.

When it comes to A DISEASE (yes...) it is .

Then I MYSELF would rather face forward..and
Fight
Who are they to say, that WE HUMAN should OBEY.
No.Fright doesn't fear me.
WE do what we must.

and all the rest is Golden.
How dare they push us to it.
No.
He gave the solid rail a hateful kick.
From far away there came an answering tick
And then another tick. He knew the code:
His hate had roused an engine up the road.
He wished when he had had the track alone
He had attacked it with a club or stone
And bent some rail wide open like switch
So as to wreck the engine in the ditch.
Too late though, now, he had himself to thank.
Its click was rising to a nearer clank.
Here it came breasting like a horse in skirts.
(He stood well back for fear of scalding squirts.)
Then for a moment all there was was size
Confusion and a roar that drowned the cries
He raised against the gods in the machine.
Then once again the sandbank lay serene.
The traveler’s eye picked up a turtle train,
between the dotted feet a streak of tail,
And followed it to where he made out vague
But certain signs of buried turtle’s egg;
And probing with one finger not too rough,
He found suspicious sand, and sure enough,
The pocket of a little turtle mine.
If there was one egg in it there were nine,
Torpedo-like, with shell of gritty leather
All packed in sand to wait the trump together.
‘You’d better not disturb any more,’
He told the distance, ‘I am armed for war.
The next machine that has the power to pass
Will get this plasm in it goggle glass.’
