I have gotten a ton of negative feedback on YT about my talk with Yoel and Mari. A lot of people saying that letting a Cuban man speak his mind is pushing CIA talking points. It was suggested I watch this video instead, so I will share it with you and I welcome your feedback. As an outsider, there appears to be two extreme camps: the USA is always the sole problem or the USA never does anything wrong. These both seem to be disingenuous. But my real question is this, it feels neocolonialist to tell a Cuban man what his experience should be, so how would you have handled the topic differently? I know there are some very smart people here, so please give me your ideas.
Those of us who live in the country mostly prefer to avoid people, especially naked strangers. That’s for city folk. So you can imagine my surprise today upon seeing a man who resembled the form of a shaven Santa, completely nude in the gym sauna. He was changing out of his bathing suit and seemed rather shocked to see another person. He told me, “I didn’t think anyone else would be here!” I said, “Well it’s a gym.” Yes it is a country gym but this isn’t a red heat lamp in someone’s cow pasture. Long story short: keep your Christmas packages wrapped up this holiday season.
Sassy has been my best trail buddy, partner in crime, late night listener, comic relief for 32 years. This week she got a little sick, but thankfully recovered quickly, reminding me that every day is a blessing and never to take for granted a simple scratch or winnie. For a little 11-year old girl to grow up with a horse, and then throw her kids up as a 44-year old mom, is special in a way I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to describe. Our friend Nick’s farm @growingbacktoeden produces the most wonderful carrots and Sassy’s absolute favorite part is the carrot top. So of course - Sassy gets what Sassy wants!
I stopped eating bread a couple years ago when I went “high-fat / low-carb” for health reasons. I had never heard the benefits of freshly-milled grains - only how bad bread is for our metabolism. I had always seen bread as a treat, not as a nutritious food. Now I know that when flour is freshly milled, using the entire grain, bread can offer a host of vitamins and minerals. It’s entirely different than commercial breads at grocery stores. While I still focus on protein and healthy fats, I am back to enjoying bread that we make at home, immediately after grinding our own flour. It’s delicious and gives me another excuse to eat more butter!
But it kept MAGAville distracted and placated. While funneling money to the Technate. MAGAfanatics have fallen for the same scam 3x over. The number of times Donald John Trump has done it, so far...
