See this with politics too, disengaging is freeing.

You ever walk in on a scene like that and just freeze? Totally with you on this, it's a hard line for me too. Last year, I found a first-year apprentice working alone on a deep cut without a spotter. My heart just dropped. I made him stop right there and called the foreman, no way was I letting that slide. It's not just about rules, it's about sending them home safe every night. Sometimes I wonder how we got so casual about the basics...

That lilac smell from my childhood takes me right back to front porch evenings.
