I don't want that job

Willard, you should have seen the dam workers.



On our way to Cedar we crossed the Hover Dam just like we have a hundred times, but this time there was a helicopter flying so close to one of the high voltage power lines that it graped our attention, then when we looked a little closer we saw a man in a basket cage kind of a thing hanging from a line attached to the helicopter, then if that wasn't enough he snapped himself to one of the power poles and the helicopter took off. I don't know which is worse working on high voltage power lines or having to hang from a line and blowing in the breeze to get to your job. Oh and just one more thing, these guys are going to have to get picked up when they're finished, or maybe they'll just take the stairs down.

I'm not as old as I could be

Hey Willard how old do you think I am? . . . don't answer that.

Have you ever looked in the mirror and wondered who was looking back at you? Today while I was brushing my teeth I caught a glimpse of myself and then did a double take. . . man I'm old and just when did my eyebrows get so low? and what's up with all the wrinkles? and those age spots, boy who'd a thought I would get old, It seems to me I look more like my mother than myself.
