Although I was tickled by the botanica ad on the blog, further reflection saddened me. This is the spirit, the ingenuity, that the Castro regime has tamped. Fortunately he has not been able to completely erase it. According to my mother, since soap is scarce in Cuba, some budding capitalists will rent the soap they've managed to acquire. You are limited to one bath, stringently enforced.
It's going to go in the pantheon with bistec empanizado, country fried steak, made out of grapefruit rinds, since steak is a thing virtually unknown and shoe soles refashioned from old tires, since a matching right AND left shoe are hard to find. Absurdity.
