Absent

Perfect week to have been out of the plant.  I left for Florida on Monday - early afternoon flight from Campaign with a connection in Chicago.   Made it to the hotel about 9:30 PM Monday night.

Tuesday I found my way to the Clearwater facility and the training room.  My Black Berry didn't work in the room (lead-lined or some such thing), and my computer would not connect to the plant system.  It was afternoon before I learned the the "feds" were in the plant.  US EPA was holding an "unplanned" inspection at the plant. 

By Tuesday evening a series of calls would have one believe that the sky was falling.  Doom and gloom, finger pointing by people at the corporate office whom I have never met, and so forth.  By Wednesday evening all was looking up and by Thursday the "bigger brother" (aka NRC) was in the picture.  Life is good - I was not there for the insanity!

If we have faith, we are protected - in this life and the next.  I am so glad I was protected this past week.
