Interesting. After Andrew, I was doing an article in Homestead for the National Guard. I interviewed this woman, a life long migrant worker, and commented on observing and sensing the same sort of feeling - I mean, for people drinking water out of puddles in the street with the smell of death all around, they seemed pretty sanguine. She said something I can't forget..."This is just one more thing in our lives, " with that universal shrug of acceptance.

I believe for her, for them - it just was what it was...another tragedy in lives where tragedy and strife were so extremely commonplace as to be the norm.
