They even named a steet after me in San Francisco!

Wow.  I wake up this morning and find that Fidel Castro has resigned.  It should be interesting to see what will happen to Cuba, will they attempt to continue as a Communist nation, or will they give in to McDonalds and Wal*Mart?

Also in the news, the price of oil climbed to $100.10, a new intraday record, before settling a bit to a record close of $100.01.  This is the first time oil has closed above $100 a barrel.

Fidel's brother is just as bad as he is, so we won't see much change from Cuba, honestly.
