True Story about a Coal Miner

This happened on December 6 1962, in PA... An African American wanted to change his shift so that her could work that day, so since he was friends with my Great Grandfather he first came to him asking if he would change shifts with him. My great grandfather told him "Ask everyone else on my crew first and if they all turn you down come back to me and I will change shifts with you." so that Black coal miner went and asked the others on my great grandfathers crew. They both already knew what their response was going to be considering none of them like the guy... So the Black guy came back and told my great grandfather that they all turned him down so my grandfather changed shifts with him... Well later that night my great grandfather was upstairs in his house when all of a sudden the emergency sirens at the mine went off, he rushed to the mine to see what happened and to see if everyone was OK... When he got to the mine he found out that it had exploded and everyone on his crew was dead including the guy who he switched places with that day.. After that it scared my great grandfather and he quit his job working in the mines and started a store... Every year when December 6 comes around he always goes and visits the monument saying that it should be him on there and how fortunate he was that everyone turned the guy down when he asked them to switch shifts with him for the day....

Why we should all be Recycling

I have been asked why I waist my time recycling when I am not even getting paid to do it... Well I say to the people who ask such dumb questions, its not the fact that I am not being paid even tho I would love to get paid to do it but its the fact that I am helping save the planet from garbage that can and should be reused... I am currently unemployed it sucks so there for I cant be spending money to help the economic growth well I look at recycling as a way to help... The more that people recycle the more jobs that will be created not in just the recycling pick up but in all sorts of places... people don't relieze but in order for something to be recycled it first starts with the person, then it is taken to a recycling drop off zone were it is then sorted, once that is complete it then gets picked up by trucks or by train to be delivered to the plant which melts or shreds the recycled product so that it can be molded into new product that can then be reused after it is put into the product that it will be it is then put on another truck to be delivered to warehouses which will then distribute it to the stores or wherever it is needed. now that may not be all the steps there may be more but it takes a lot of people to make this happen and them more we recycle it helps not only then environment but also puts people to work... So if everyone could start to recycle it could be a chain reaction in a whole new economy...
