New Blog

Some of you may remember me from the public information office of the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration, which was my professional home for many years.

Old habits die hard. So this blog will aim to provide you with at least one highlight each working day that in some way illuminates the safety and health of those people who earn their livings by digging coal, gold and other minerals.

Wishing all of you a safe and happy year in 2005.
