I had dreams like that when I was a kid . . . and I was never so happy to see my mom as on mornings after a bad dream. I can just see the wistful look on your little man's face too and can imagine how it would pull at the heartstrings! He thought he lost you?

Not only are they working crazy long days (and the last two have been in hot sun), they also have to have cat-like balance. When the little man first saw them up on our weird-shaped roof he said "that's dangerous!" and he's not wrong. I've been very impressed with the dudes. But personally, I wouldn't mind if they worked shorter days spread over more time... Oh my god yes!

That scene in Fargo is what came to mind. I had a dude come to my door once with a drill; my dog scared him away. I have lived with the notion that my dog saved my life and my daughter's--whom I gave birth to the next day.) I come to find out a few years later that it was the Meter Dude. Could've fooled me in that oversized hoodie (with hood UP). Back in the day, Meter Readers were pretty square-looking and looked the part. Freaky. That scene in Fargo is what came to mind.
