Just saw the news that Fidel Castro is no more...
Will be interesting if the nation he lorded over for so long will throw off the shackles he put on them or if they will snuggle up in the comfort of the chains they were now that they've been freed of their oppressor.

I agree, I think the current Cuban leadership sees the opportunity to financial independence through tourism and bringing in American investment. Obviously, that just an opinion but, I hope relations improve. Some day, I think I'd like to visit Cuba. (I think) Hopefully they'll build a bridge so I can ride there. I know, it'd be a very long bridge.  |

As I remember, no official from the Obama administration attended Margaret Thatcher's funeral. I wonder if they'll send someone to Castro's?

At the risk of showing my ignorance. Ever since you posted this thread yesterday I've been trying to figure out what the phrase "shuffles off this mortal coil" means ? It just doesn't register with me. ???

Didn't remember - had to look at wiki: Mortal coil is a poetic term that means the troubles of daily life and the strife and suffering of the world. It is used in the sense of a burden to be carried or abandoned, such as in the phrase "shuffle[d] off this mortal coil" from the "To be, or not to be" soliloquy in Shakespeare's Hamlet. |
