The "Dirty Fingernail Brigade" united - little acts of kindness to be passed forward

[Stinky The Clown]

StinkyJr2 stopped by today after they broke from their job early. They were up on a roof. The air temp was 102. Who knows how hot the roof was. What was clear, through their collective heat addled brains, was that it wasn't just too hot to work. It was unsafe to work.

They quit.

Out in front of our house, there's a crew from the power company doing some permanent repair work to a temporary repair they made a few months ago. The sun is blazing down on them. They're down in a hole, digging with shovels. They're around the hole, standing on asphalt paving. They're operating a bobcat and a backhoe. They're drilling conduit for underground wires.

I went past them mid morning, walking the dawgz. The dawgz were glad to be out cuz they're stupid. The guys were sweating the fool heads off.

SJr2 saw them and stopped. he had several canned sodas from work he hadn't used. Still in the cooler, still nice and cold.

"You guys want these? They're cold."




That's my boy.
