[cdt-l] Cuba
<< Can you elaborate on the motels that are now privately owned in Cuba?
Brian called last night from Grants, NM. (257.6 miles, near as I can figure,
from Cumbres Pass in 10 days.) In Cuba, he stayed in the last room available
at the Frontier Motel ($25.) because the other two places were full of
construction workers. There's a huge road construction project going on in
the area, which accounts for the shortage of rooms. The Del Prado is near
the post office. There is a third motel that he couldn't remember the name
of.*
*Yes, I know this is bad English. But it reminds me of a TRUE story:
A friend of mine asked of a passerby, on the Stanford campus, "Where's the
library at?"
The passerby responded," One simply does not end a sentence with a
preposition!"
To which my friend replied, "I'm sorry, sir. So, where's the library at,
asshole?!!" ;-)
