I've seen it create more work during hurricanes in Florida. More targeted opportunities can, do, and will arise. <br /><br />Thanks, y'all.CrackerLilohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18176388186521154104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12799282.post-74321102389990482142011-03-28T19:38:04.411-04:002011-03-28T19:38:04.411-04:00If you are looking for an answer and not just pond...If you are looking for an answer and not just pondering rhetorically, then no, do not just pack up and go. Well meaning, but untrained, unskilled, people who show up to pick up trash and carry water end up adding to the problem, rather than helping relieve it.

I can't be the only starfish and we need you.BostonPobblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08900134112278236654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12799282.post-72903024826647199782011-03-21T21:40:30.749-04:002011-03-21T21:40:30.749-04:00Well said.
