One time I tried to help a disillusioned young man who was working on my house with a construction crew. He’d broken up with his girlfriend, quit his job, started drinking and (of all things) had begun smoking cigarettes. He’d moved to the Florida Keys (which is about as far south as someone who is trying to escape their problems can go and still remain in the United States) and was all alone. He was very clean cut and seemed out of place with the other workers and looked as if he should be working on Wall Street instead of on a construction site . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2025/02/you-cant-get-there-alone/
