Never a dull moment on key biscayne...

Last week a hairy butt, this week Cubans!

As i was riding over to key biscayne this morning i noticed a helicopter overhead and a bunch of police cars and commotion in the distance. As i got closer i noticed a group of people sitting on the ground. Apparently, some Cuban refugees landed and the police were keeping an eye on them until the border patrol got there. On my way home the border patrol was putting them in a van to take them away for processing. Just another day on key biscayne and a few more (new) miami residents that won't speak english to me.

Oh, and a colleague of mine and i were debating how we should say they came on shore. Originally i said washed up on shore...he thought that meant dead bodies. While i agree it may hint at that and there is likely a more "pc" way to say it, i feel the term "washed up" adds to the drama of the situation. I mean, these people have been on rafts for days in search of freedom. surely they deserve some sort of drama for their harrowing journey. He suggested arrived or landed. (bor-ing.) Yet, i conceded and used landed for the entry.

What do you think it should be called?
(this is what nbc thinks the correct term is: ) (again i say, bor-ing.)
