A Bridgetender Thanks Frontline Workers

Please share this video with any essential workers that you know! Thanks!

About two months ago, I decided to blow my bridge horn every night at 8 pm, to thank frontline workers for all they are doing in the face of this horrible pandemic. I’ve been doing it every time I work swing shift ever since. I’ve blogged about it in more detail here.

I’ve gotten some positive feedback from people in the neighborhood. And often, when I blow my horn, some of the larger vessels in the area join in. It’s all very gratifying.

But the sound of my horn only goes so far. And mine is a humble little blog, only read by a limited number of people. And I really want to thank all the frontline workers that I can. It’s the very least I can do.

So I made this video and posted it on Youtube. You can tell I wasn’t exactly made to be in front of a camera. I’m nervous. The words aren’t  flowing smoothly. Hitchcock and Tarantino would not exactly be jealous if they saw this thing. But hey, it’s heartfelt.

Please, if you know any frontline workers at all, whether they’re in the healthcare field or are first responders or are considered essential workers in any way, it would mean a great deal if you would share this video with them.

Thank you. Stay safe.

I have been a bridgetender since 2001, and gives me plenty of time to think and observe the world.

  1. Back in the late 70’s, before they raised it a few notes, Uni’s horn carried well over a mile. I was often surprised when, in a quiet neighborhood, I could hear the horn of one or another bridge for 2 miles or more.
    I have a relative who is safe at home but makes masks, and I am so grateful and proud of her.
