gives the mind a chance to wander

---------------------

It's a rainy Saturday in Au Train, but our excellent cleaning crew is undaunted.  These pictures were taken in Dana's Rec Center during their lunch break.  It's another total turnover week as new and returning guests will be settling in this afternoon.

"I learned that doing mindless, repetitive work gives the mind a chance to wander.  The Trappist monks and Carmelite nuns have been doing it for hundreds of years, foreswearing material things in favor of soul-cleansing menial labor.  Unfortunately, it seems to have the opposite effect on postal workers."
