Lethal Occupation and Other

The fatal-accident rate for fishermen and related fishing workers is 200 per 100,000 full-time workers . . . compared with a rate of 13.1 for police and 4.4 for firefighters. Farming is also more dangerous: 38.5 fatal occupational injuries per 100,000 full-time workers. Source: *Bottom Line Personal*, April 15, 2011, p. 11\. \* \* \* \* \* \* \* **No PC?** You notice that prohibited word, "fisher*men*"? I lifted that directly from *Bottom Line*. Of course, the term "fisher people" is ridiculous, but no matter. I gotta believe *BL* is going to receive some reprimands. A few years ago, I was at a legal seminar and the speaker used the term "fisher people." It really threw me. I was thinking, "What did I miss? Who are the Fishers? I'm lost." I then realized he was merely a PC-nerd. \* \* \* \* \* \* \* **Cars and Love?** Detroit used to be called "The Paris of the Midwest"? It makes sense, if Paris is seen as dingy and smelly (which, I'm told, it is), but I don't think that's what was meant. I think people meant it in the romantic sense. Sigh. Detroit is a wreck and getting worse. [American Thinker ran a good reflection about Detroit earlier this week](http://www.americanthinker.com/2011/04/leaving%5Fdetroit.html?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). \* \* \* \* \* \* \* **Triduum Notice**. For the most part, I don't blog during the Triduum. Those three days are reserved for prayer. And although I won't spend all of the time on my knees, I like to shake myself from my normal routine. I will post some meditations on each of the days, and I might blog a little on Saturday morning. We'll see. \* \* \* \* \* \* \* **The Celtic Tiger**. Dead. Who killed it? Bank bailouts that have put the Irish deep in debt. Many thousands are upside-down on their mortgages because of the phony housing boom in Ireland. They could file bankruptcy, but be warned: Ireland still has debtor prisons. Part 1 (Part 2 is also available at Youtube):
