To the farmers and ranchers still growing our food.
To field workers who pick and pack it.
To truckers, on lonely long hauls while we sleep (or try to.)
To our frightened and tired neighborhood delivery drivers.
To checkers, pharmacists and shelf stockers.
To municipal workers, who keep water running and toilets flushing.
To mail carriers.
To trash and recycle pickup.
To the millions of people laboring behind the scenes in warehouses.
(If you don't need it, please don't order it.)
To the researchers and scientists working in labs 24/7.
And especially, to the doctors, nurses and medical professionals leaving their families and safe homes this morning and heading to work:
We bow to you, we thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.
Beautiful Sue. Our neighborhood is especially eerie: I drove by a boarded up business near Westwood yesterday and on the plywood slabs put up to cover the glass it said "it's over Seattle." It made me feel sad knowing that there is more to come.
