Rob could walk to Hot Bird from his house but it is a longish walk. There are no iffy neighborhoods, it actually borders North Slope/Prospect Heights. If you could walk over to get the 69 bus, that would be the best and it would take only a couple of minutes.
Rob, re Granny, I agree wholeheartedly with Jessi. Do what feels right to you. Always.
OMFG so someone here brought chocolates from china, they were on a trip. i just took one. they are individually wrapped, small… and inside is a bag of silica salt! wtf?! is that safe to eat

Fidel Castro Takes Share of Blame for Persecuting Cuban Gays
Aug. 31 (Bloomberg) — Former Cuban President Fidel Castro said for the first time that the Cuban revolution persecuted gays in its early years.
Castro, Cuba’s leader from 1959 until he handed power to his brother Raul after falling ill in 2008, said in an interview published in the Mexican newspaper La Jornada that he regretted the treatment of gays who were marginalized or sent to agrarian reform camps as punishment.
“It was us that did it, us,†he said. “I am trying to work out to what extent my responsibility extends because, since then, personally, I don’t have that sort of prejudice.â€
Castro said he was too busy fighting “the war with the Yankees†and foiling attempts on his life to put a stop to homophobic attitudes within his communist regime that he said predated the revolution.
