    This isn’t exactly 100% relevant to your story, but it is related and an anecdote I enjoy sharing.

    I recently moved to a small town and hired an electrician to make some changes to my house. After showing him around the house, we went to look at the fuse box to determine what changes could be made.

    As we were looking, he said “I know those fuses are original.” When I asked how, he pointed at the labels and said “because that’s my father’s handwriting.”

    Kinda cool to have a legacy like that. The electrician did do good work, so far as I can tell, so it was likely earned as well.
