Between Holidays

Hi all. I’ve been waiting for true, quiet downtime to update the blog with links and pictures of christmas gifts (pictures using what, you might ask, since my digital camera crapped out…?…yes, my sweet brother researched the heck out of Canon PowerShots and rode his bike from Brooklyn into Manhattan during the transit strike while [...]

Recuerden a los médicos cubanos presos en éste Fin de Año

This is my response to the strike: back in June, this was the greeting I received when getting off my train to go to work. This was when the MTA was NOT on strike. This was an open station.

The MTA is backwards. They are crooked. They announced a deficit, raised fares, and found a 1 [...]

Doctors for Dollars. Medical Encounters in Cuba
