I take for granted the fact that i'm pretty fortunate overall despite my complaints
My late summer/early fall plans included lots of downhill MTB'ing in NM and CO, as well as plenty of C&V Tomfoolery

Duty calls instead ----- after trying to make contact with a number of my policyholders to set times to inspect and hearing about people with 4', 6', 8' of water in their homes -- I had to shake it off by saying
-- "My job is an extreme sport - just a slow burning one "

Waiting for flood waters to recede so you can help someone put their life back together can be fulfilling in its own way --- even though, as an insurance company "stooge" - I will get dog cussed 50 times before this stint is over

I'll likely check in when things start to level out down there ---
Good on ya, when the powers that be give the green light its a beautiful thing right when people need it most.
