Something came up in today's OT which I decided to address here.
It was a comment by soe which ties into this article ..
It's probably difficult to wrap your mind around how much good that Cuban doctors have done in the last 60 years. Here is a stat worth remembering:
Well the cold snap has passed and we have survived without any broken pipes or power failures. Our brand new roof gutters have survived the ice storm and they did fill up completely with ice but hung in there.
Now it's just rain at about 50f.

When you think of the petrodollar inevitably you will think of Saudi Arabia and the agreement they made with the Nixon Administration to sell all of their oil in dollars. That's why what happened just two weeks ago is so significant.
Or Happy Hanukah, Cool Kwanzaa, and Festive Festivus (for the rest of us),
or just have a good day if you are a devout non-celebrant.
Christmastide
by H. P. Lovecraft
The cottage hearth beams warm and bright,
The candles gaily glow;
The stars emit a kinder light
Above the drifted snow.
Down from the sky a magic steals
To glad the passing year,
And belfries sing with joyous peals,
For Christmastide is here!
