Hey, I told you life was nuts. I watched a senate hearing last night on C-span about regulation and autonomous vehicles. What an oxymoron.

But it’s Christmas and so much in Cuba is representative of America. Our old cars are displayed on every tourist gift. You

Hey,   Bandit is still in Cuba. I am here with the rest of the Bikernet crew holding down Bikernet Headquarters. Making sure this machine stays well oiled and is going strong upon his return.
