January 20, 2009 — dougpeteIs Nothing Sacred
January 20, 2009 — dougpeteIf you know me well, you know that one of my daily rituals is to have a peanut butter sandwich for lunch. It’s one of life’s treats for me and I enjoy it so much.
It does mean that I have to have lunch by myself as there are folks who have allergies and I’m sensitive to that. It is a situation that I deal with to treat myself to this delicacy.
Now, in the news we read about a recall of peanut butter in the United States because of salmonella.

Say it isn’t so!
What’s scary about things like this is that you don’t know until it’s reported in the news. By the time it makes the top of the news stack, there have been sicknesses or even deaths to raise the awareness.
At this point in time, it’s still good news for my lunchtime plans.

It really does give you pause to think though. We rely on the quality and work efforts of so many people as we go through the day. Similarly, there are people that rely on us to do out best. It may be time to mentally revisit the old adage “Autograph your work with excellence”.
We all need to pull together, doing the very best that we can.
