National Lineman Appreciation Day. We’re not talking football here. National Lineman Appreciation Day honors the men and women who work around the clock to keep the power going. If the power is on where you are reading this article, you likely have a lineman to thank. When mother nature destroys what our linemen have built up, they are on call to build it back up again as quickly as possible. These men and women work tirelessly to get emergency systems back in working order and urgently return service to remaining areas.Even when there is no crisis, they work under dangerous conditions on a daily basis. Whether they are working in trenches, near water, or on high towers, the risks are extreme. I appreciate them very much! Especially when they go out in a storm to restore power. I hate it when my power goes out, but I don’t like them going out to restore power while the storm is still brewing. I care about their safety.
Easter Monday. That’s actually listed on my calendar. It’s my Easter day since I had to work yesterday. I’m having my traditional Easter meal with a small (one pound) ham, mashed potatoes (instant – so much easier) and corn from my freezer (which I grew in my garden). Oh, and rolls too. I might even bake a cake. I haven’t decided for sure on that yet.
Today is:
National Animal Crackers Day
National Columnists Day
