Found inside the cab of, oddly enough, a Union Pacific diesel-electric locomotive set idling within the constraints of my mountain domain.
It shouldn’t shock anyone that the BLET (Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen) stems from, essentially, the very first union of note in this country.
What I find remarkable is a truth like this written amidst such a strong union presence.
But not that the UP is the quintessential “employee-friendly” company by any stretch of the most daft imagination. If you looked up the word “adversary” you’d see the UP shield.
However the truth is still, no matter what, the truth.
And truer words were never written.

Now that is a true statement if ever I heard one.
I remember seing a TV show, Probably Twilight Zone where a robots who served humans was aked why he did it when he could be doing something else. He said it was so he could control humans because humans could no longer do anything for themselves everything had to be done for them.

My apologies for the two deletions. I keep making the same mistake! I need another cup of coffee!
This comment you posted is outstanding, BZ. I hope you don’t mind if I snag it for Fractured Friday.
Snag away, Gail. BTW, did you seen that Lionheart responded, and he’s on the radio?
