Not funny at all

I'm just writing a little post here so that I can say I have not forgotten my little blog altogether.  The 2012 Summer Olympics have started in London but I do not know a single one of the athletes - not one. Not a single person in any of the sports. I don't even know how many Olympic sports there are. I know there is swimming and the high jump but that's about it. It's not funny but I really don't care. As long as I have my Daiquiris I am fine. Thanks.

Cuban Revolution

On January 1, 1959, Cuban dictator Batista was overthrown by Fidel Castro’s communist rebels. The scene is depicted in Marlon Brando’s famous movie – The Godfather. In the movie, Batista makes a farewell speech, says goodbye, then leaves. Political leaders who make a mess of things have a habit of just leaving – I hate to think what happened to all the subordinates Batista left behind. Anyway, that’s water gone past the Cuban shoreline and back. Now, the Cuban people are hoping the U.S. can reinstate normal relations with their island. That would probably boost not only the Cuban but the U.S. economy as well. I read somewhere that Cuba imports lots of processed chicken meat. I have no way of knowing – I don’t live there. In order to benefit from the coming change, I could buy shares in meat processing companies. I just hope the Cubans don’t all become vegetarians overnight.
