A Volunteer Organization
Sunday, January 17th, 2010
One thing I’m doing in my enforced retirement is driving the ambulance at our town’s all-volunteer Fire and Ambulance Association. This has involved over six months of training, and I still have a great deal to learn. As the world transitions to a smaller and more sustainable economy we need more dedication to helping our neighbors, and sadly, we also need far fewer yachts. But the ones we still have will be true masterpieces. Gone will be the mass-produced “clorox bottles” from our recent bout of unsustainable overconsumption. What you’ll begin to see will be magnificent though physically small works of art from the hands of masters. Maybe even one or two more from my own hand.
