It’s so weird to see the skies turn red and then overtake us with darkness in just a few hours. For one moment it was beautiful and then we realize all the people suffering from these fires. Prayers to all the families, the firefighters and public safety people who are risking their lives to help us!
Happy Labor Day!
Today we celebrate the hard workers, past and present, that make this country great!

These new standards would hold businesses responsible for their employees who may have contracted a disease while away from work and illnesses covered by the new rule would include anything from the flu and common cold up to more serious communicable diseases like small pox, measles, and COVID.
