I drove up and beyond Quincy for a couple of days of introspection and fishing. The area is simply awe inspiring. Clear water, fresh air, inspiring vistas of tree covered crags, and the stars at night so close that you could almost reach up and touch them.
I took a break at mid afternoon and found a boat up food stop. Big hamburger, fries and a Pepsi all the while sitting in the warm sun overlooking the lake. A gentleman came out to the alfresco deck with his motorcycle helmet and we struck up an conversation. He told me of is work with the Bank of America and that he had a territory of most of Northern California and he often went from bank to bank on his bike. He has seen alot of road under his wheels. He asked me what I did, and I told him about my new job working with the prison system.
Then I was put aback by a statement he made. "Your work could well save lives."
Meaningful employment. One piece to the puzzle of life.
