Part 40: LayOver in Cuba

....................................................................................................................................................................................

So….now I had time on my hands. What to do? What to do? Here I was in the former Socialist Mecca built by Fidel and Raul Castro care of the betrayal at the Bay of Pigs by JFK.

Since the SHATTER the cubans had rebooted..but it would take a while for this poor place to get up to speed. They’d lost a generation or two due to Marxism. Perhaps Marxism is the wrong word? Maybe communism, progressivism, socialism...some kind of collectivist ‘ism’.

It damn sure wasn’t free market.

What to do? What to do? I was kinda stuck here in the lot if I stayed in Trog. She was much, much too big to travel on most of the surface streets.

Then again...I wasn’t actually stuck. I had some choices. One choice was a mono-wheel.

I thought about it. I could print out a small mono-wheel in an hour or so. I could probably find one in the catalog that was small enough to ride on sidewalks...and go inside buildings for that matter.

“ hmmmm...yeah..that sounds like a plan. Trog! “ I had decided. I’d get out and stretch my legs for a bit. Maybe I’d go to a bar or something .

“Yes master. How may I help you?” Trog is such a clown sometimes.

“Print me out a small mono-wheel please. I’m going to take a nap. Wake me when it’s ready?” I said.

“Yes Master. Your wish is my desire. Which one would you like?” he said. He was doing the ‘Dream of Genie’ imitation again. He sounded goofy when he tried to imitate a female.

“Pick one...you be the judge. I just want one bowling ball bag sized. No bigger. Black and Chrome would be nice…definitely NOT hello kitty pink!” there’s a story behind that.

“Yes master...I have just what you want already loaded into the printer. Have a nice nap. It will be a short one.” he replied.

“Short works..that’s all I need” I reclined the drivers chair and closed my eyes…

Naturally I dreamed..

Dammit..
