driving a bike around in a car

Posted on December 2, 2022 by | Leave a comment

Driving a bike out in a car to go ride on it. lol.

That’s the way it’s gotta be with me. I’m phobic of heavy car traffic. My fear level becomes unbearable.

Got a whole bike stuffed in the back of that car. I have a full-size one that stayed at home this time.

that usa to cuba cable

Posted on December 2, 2022 by | Leave a comment

A Cuban friend expressing some rage (quoted below) at the USDOJ moving to block an undersea telecommunications cable from USA to Cuba.

I agree.

A previous POTUS flippantly promised one during a visit years ago. “I’ll have Verizon drop a cable.” Pffft. I didn’t know Verizon took orders from the President. Probably, it’s the other way around.

“And from these people is already madness, frenetic and tireless hatred.”

Y lo de esta gente ya es locura, odio frenético e incansable.

special statue in havana cuba

Posted on December 2, 2022 by | Leave a comment

A “special” statue in Havana, Cuba, from our trip in 2005. You see it?

Most people who live there walk right by, but even some of them will look and smile, especially when they see tourists going at it. It’s a mandatory photo op.

Statue holding a scroll which seen from the side looks like a mega penis.

sigh, status quo stream

Posted on December 2, 2022 by | 4 comments

On another network, a full stream from a user of the most status quo hole-in-the-head propaganda direct from the corporate “mighty Wurlitzer.” I look at the profile, and it says #antifascist #revolutionary #anarchist #contrarian .

It’s so often this way.

fooled around and fell in love – song on the radio

Posted on December 1, 2022 by | Leave a comment

Song “Fooled Around and Fell in Love” came out when I was 16. By then I was already changing the gender mentioned to suit me better when singing along.

I must have been through about a million guys
I’d love ’em then I’d leave ’em alone
I didn’t care how much they cried, no sir
Their tears left me cold as a stone

undersea cable from usa to cuba to be denied

Posted on December 1, 2022 by | Leave a comment

Things continue to stay stupid.

USDOJ recommended that the FCC deny an undersea cable connection to Cuba due to risk to USA national security because the equipment on the Cuban end would be owned by… Cuba. 😱

Hell, everything is a risk to USA national security: the wind blowing, sun coming up, etc.

Data and telephone to Cuba is a mess because it has to go alllll the wayyy down and around through Colombia and Venezuela usually.
