Man Power was the name of my local temp agency. My best bud Dan spent several summers employed by them. Dan Power we called it. I also worked there as a bank receptionist, zero static floor waxer for microelectronics clean room, tree and limb clearer for power company. The industrial wood chipper whipped the limbs past you so fast and would grind you up in a second. The bank ladies liked my phone voice. Dan’s current side hustle is detailing cars. Dantail he calls it.

Oy. Basements and water. Know it. Not fun. And did not know about Bobby Sherman becoming an EMT. Interesting. Looking forward to hearing how the job went. Holed up here with the first significant snow of the season. About to clear a path. ❄️❄️❄️

It took me decades to realize that the opening line of Here Come the Brides' theme song, "Oh the bluest skies you've seen are in Seattle", actually meant it always rains there. It took my first visit to Seattle to wise up to that particular joke.
