Under The Weight ...

Some of us live under crushing responsibility.
Some people notice ...
"... it occurred to me that I was putting a lot of trust in this man's ability to ensure that oncoming traffic had temporarily surrendered this lane to me. If you figure the typical car is worth around $15,000, and this guy shepherds maybe 250 thru during his shift, then he is responsible for protecting assets worth about $3.7 million. Google tells me a road worker makes about $100 per day, so he is managing assets worth 38,000 times his annual salary."

And in the rain too...
