So glad to learn they have developed wind energy resources, already in use, for some time. So surprised at some of the other energy measures, as well. Superb!

If anyone could do it, it would be Cuban nationals.

Love that photo above. I had read that these crowds turned out all along the way traveled to take home the ashes of Fidel Castro. I'm sure some leftover Cold Warriors would step forward to claim they went there because they were afraid NOT to be there, or afraid that the government would kill their children if they didn't. (Yes, it still seems to take all kinds, doesn't it?)

It's always the right time to point out that at this time in history, Cuban nationals live longer individually, and their infants do live with more health, less disease, less dying than they do here. Some people have never been able to grasp the significance of this well enough to realize what an accomplishment that is.

Will be keeping this article for future reference, by all means.

Thank you, Mika.
