How did you survive the brutal authoritarianism of the Sheinbaum regime?
I was able to hide in the rain and fog. The weather was on my side.
mole is so good
very cool.
currently driving for uber/lyft, probably gonna call it early in a couple of hours. DMV fucked me up this month but two more weekends is more than enough time to make rent so I'll be fine.
fun fact I've got a Crystal Skull bottle that I regularly refill with the cheapest stuff I can to make Cuba Libres with.
Glad you're doing well comrade, that sounds like a chill evening.
I'm spending my last full day on lib island 
by going out to buy souvenirs for my family members since I kinda forgot to get around to it until now. I hope I find decent stuff to gift them.
That's awesome, man. I'm jealous for that rum.
What rum did you get? How'd you bring it back?
It is just Havana Club. I should have looked out for Cuban rum in shops while I was there. I forgot and only started looking for Cuban rum in the airport no duty store, so I likely really overpaid.
Havana Club is great rum, man. I've wanted to try Eminente, but I also mostly just want to hold on to that cool bottle!
They didn't inspect you on the way in? I don't think you can bring that anymore.
I think a small amount for personal use (1 bottle) is still allowed, but I actually didn't have to go through customs returning to the US.
Nah, I am pretty sure that isn't allowed anymore. Trump reversed that Obama policy and Biden never went back to it, unfortunately.
You got lucky. Enioy that rum even more now, Comrade.
I'm just sitting in a tattoo studio in Budapest about to get a couple gold finches on my arm.
Is Cuban rum better than Jamaican or Puerto Rican?
I think it is. The bottle I got is smoother than anything I have had at a comparable price point. Not that I am a real rum connoisseur.
My ex-girlfriend was able to go and live in Cuba for a few months on some educational visa (only legal way to go to Cuba as a USian, as far as I am aware) and she swore by how much better Cuban rum was.
