QEPD: Ramón Puig, El Rey de las Guayaberas

See here for Cafe Fuerte's obit of Ramón Puig, "El Rey de las Guayaberas."

I am personally indebted to Señor Puig. I bought a white, long sleeved Irish linen guayabera from him in the summer of 2005 for my wedding that August 13.

I have since realized that despite his own longevity in power, it was a bad omen to get hitched on El Comandante's birthday.

Unfortunately, the guayabera has lasted longer than the marriage.

Rules to blog by:
1. More light than heat; More argument than attack.
2. How to fight fair: If you must attack, fine - but attack others' (or my) arguments, not persons, families, or waistlines.
3. Show me the money - back up your statements with reasons and examples, not innuendo and character assassinations.
4. Be respectful, even (especially) of those with whom you disagree.
5. And the golden rule: Treat others as you yourself would want to be treated.
