inWatering my herbs each morning became my meditation without me knowing

inI always heard utility locates were for big jobs, so I skipped it on a home fence. Hit a gas line and now I'm the talk of the block for all the wrong reasons.
When you said "I don't care how small the job seems," that really hit home. I mean, I used to skip calling for locates on little things, thinking it was overkill. But hearing about cases like the one @charlesm11 brought up totally changed my view. Maybe it's just me, but seeing how badly things can go wrong makes you realize it's never worth the risk. Idk, now I always make that call, even for what feels like nothing.

inOur weekly astro photo chat faded after the office closed
Set up a dedicated channel for it on your work Slack or Teams... call it something like #astro-friday. We did that and it brings back the vibe, same time each week. People just pop in when they can and encourage folks to drop their latest shots.
