Flimsy Sanity: Visited with a white lady at the nursing home

Flimsy Sanity

In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule. - Friedrich Nietzsche

Visited with a white lady at the nursing home

Who didn't want me to use her name but she talked about how they came here from Walla Walla in cattle cars to work the beets. Remembers vividly how the men could pee off the side of the cars but how far it was to get on and off at the stations for the women and children. Said they wanted to hire only families so they could get the labor of the children and they did hours of stoop labor but still had energy to play when the day was done. Guess hard work doesn't belong to one nationality. The difference between wanting a home and being nomadic.
