Reply #7: It's an ugly place, Judi. Seething hostility everywhere.

It makes the few havens one might have among friends here and there, and the few lefty cells, circles, and organizing committees all the more precious.

I like to lay low, stay in the shade and keep my head down when I'm here - aside from being primary reporter for the BBNN. ;)

The topography is as flat as a pancake, but there's a mountain of pain here grinding someone, everyone, down to the quick.

I love to pack my kit and hit the road outta here. The economy isn't helping with that endeavor.


Do you remember - maybe it was you who posted it- a study back in the old days of CNN US/Cuba Relations, about the Cuban exiles being the least culturally integrated expat community in the US?
