Bankruptcy is hard, even when it is just your company. Every relationship that the company ever made is immediately thrown out the window, and you have to work hard to reconstitute as many of them as you can, usually on new and more difficult terms. Everyone you call is mad at you, and wants something you can't give. Everyone else has written you off and thinks you are done for, so they won't give you the time of day. This has been my job for the past two months, and there is more to do than can possibly be done in a day. There have been days where, for every one call I was able to make/return, two more came in.
There have only been a few breaks in this heavy routine. One was last Sunday afternoon, we slipped out to Farmington Bay for a chance to see Bald Eagles. There were only a few of them this year, but there were a lot of American Pelicans, American Kestrals, and Harriers. Geese could be seen all over the place. It was a nice, brief respite from an otherwise difficult stretch. Here are a few pics.

WOW!! Those are beaUtiful pix. The wheat and the mountains is breathtaking. What wondrous are God's creations!
Man you are working pretty hard. I still won't forget your face when you told me about the bankruptcy. It was so fresh that there was no hiding the shock on your face. I know you must be burning the candle at both ends right now trying to negotiate and repair business relationships. I'm thinking happy thoughts for you. Try sending some of those nasty phone calls to Korea. I'm sure Vance would love to endulge the disgruntled Flying J customers.
