I have had moments myself. Stories to come soon. Needless to say, there *has* been conduct of which I am not proud, but was necessary.

Don't worry... I was still up.

I think not.

Safety is not that complicated, but it does require a commitment from both the front-line operators and their entire management to make sure it happens. As we used to say on the railroad, "Safe operation is no accident." No, it's the result of starting with a safe mind-set, and following through.
I have been angry as well, but not *at* any person. My anger is at the mindset, and I realize now that it permeates much more than just Monorails.

Yes. I am very careful in what I say here.

Actually, we are not now allowed to wear ribbons. Considering that for the first almost two weeks we were allowed to, and even our managers were, they were very good to us, allowing us to do what was necessary to mourn. In the way they've handled us in this, as well as John Keller's death, I cannot fault the Company one iota.
