re: #944 Spare O’Lake

Only the good die young.

But did Castro have to demonstrate the inverse of that so THOROUGHLY?

Apropos of nothing: There’s a series of mystery novels, featuring a Cuban-American PI in Miami, from a well-to-do exile family. Lupe’s dad keeps his late wife’s ashes on his cabin cruiser, which is kept fully stocked and ready to go at any moment. The same day he hears Castro is dead he plans to put his daughters on board and sail to Havana.

There are a lot of people who have a similar dream, if not a cabin cruiser.

Why is this TAKING so damn long?
