Irma has come and gone with a seeming vengeance and left much to repair and rebuild in its wake. We still wake up and leave our homes to go to work, but it's not the same.  For more than a month now, we see debris piled high, downed trees and logs strewn everywhere, and workers toiling in the unforgiving sun on the side of the road for miles and miles. The Keys are not the same, but in some ways they still are. People are determined; we will make it work. First responders, the National Guard, the volunteers, all angels...
