Bay of Pigs

Since moving from Miami to Chicago, I've found that one of the most misunderstood events in recent history is the Bay of Pigs Invasion.  Aside from a select few, nobody North of Miami outside the Cuban exile community really has an understanding of the event, especially the level to which the US Government, namely President Kennedy, betrayed the poor men of Brigade 2506. Recently, I found this book, by Grayston Lynch, the CIA case officer on the invasion. It is an interesting first person account which differs from some generally held assumptions about the Bay of Pigs. If you're interested in the event, it is worth reading.

It's Snowing in Southtown!

Looks like Mother Nature has had her way with Heat Miser this year. It's snowing in Houston and New Orleans!

Merry Christmas.
