Extension Ladders

I noticed two extension ladders attached to the top of a white van going down a highway in the morning. So I expect the destination of the van is a job site.

This reminded me of many years ago when I was a house painter. My partner and I used such ladders often to paint under the eaves and on the sides of two story houses. They were the essential tools of our trade.

I left that trade due to the small but real risk of the danger of falling. And I disliked what the paint fumes did to me when working in a bathroom or a kitchen.

So for me, an extension ladder as well as all other kinds of ladders, are silent servants.

I see you there silent servants.
