The United Way of Amarillo & Canyon's annual Day of Caring is one of those events that is inspiring to me, that so many people take time out of their day to help the community. Sure, some may do it on the clock; some to get out of work, but it doesn't matter -- their efforts are improving the town.
In reporting on these altruistic folks, I find myself in the way -- a lot. Much of my efforts involve getting out of the way.
Today I had to dodge wheelbarrows of mulch, rows of carefully constructed balls of seed, mud and manure, and an acre of soggy Globe-News pages to help keep the moisture in.
See, even the Globe-News got involved in this year's Day of Caring.
