Mornin' Billie. Beautiful job with the Pledge.

My neighbor began his three month "deployment" to the hurricane ravaged areas re-installing telephone systems/service. As he put it, he's TDY or TAD in Naval terms working for BellSouth. 12 hour minumum shifts - 13 days on, 1 off.
They flew him into San Antonio to pick up his truck that had been shipped down there and from there, it's on the road to LA, MS or wherever needed.

To: Diver Dave
Thank you, Dave. Sometimes it's hard to choose which pledge to use if I don't do a brand new one for a thread, but I like that one, too. :)

It has to be such a huge task just restoring power and water and phone services to all those homes. And to think I get upset when our power goes off for 30 minutes or so. :(

Have a good day, Diver!
