  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Really wish CBS would have stayed with Andy Garcia on this and not optd for the cheesy comedic relief of Ray Romano. I understand why they did, it's better television, right? But David Feherty went there and didn't follow up IMO. Wonder how quick they were in Feherty's ear to shut Garcia up. A Cuban born American frowning on increasing relations with Cuba.

While more a response to the header, having worked on capital hill, for schwarzengger (probably the most prolific living politician and cigar consumer), two presidential candidates and currently engaged in supporting who some would consider the GOP front-runner for president - I see relations continuing to improve, and rapidly so. I expect most of the changes to come under Obama's term, so he can accrue the success as part of his making. I suspect the bigger goal is to ensure a slow transition to democracy by encouraging economic growth via tourism. It would not surprise me to see the trade embargoes lifted entirely by years end, as well as any travel stipulations.

I hope at some point we can travel to Cuba and not just for cigars. The cars there are like stepping back into 1960 w/o feeling like they are going to send a few nuclear missiles up my Uranus. I'd vacation there for the food and some CC's and maybe a few mojitos.
