Lifting History: Why it's time to end the Cuban trade embargo I am now strongly supportive of lifting the embargo, or the "blockade" as the Cubans call it, and intend on making it a major legislative priority of mine in the 115th Congress. - REP. JAMES COMER. Click on headline for complete commentary By Rep. James Comer, R-KY Commentary I recently traveled to Havana, Cuba as part of a five-member Congressional team on a trade mission to begin talks to lift the United States embargo against Cuba. As a farmer, former Kentucky Commissioner of Agriculture, and representative of a large agricultural district, I was supportive of reopening trade with Cuba long before I ever actually visited Cuba. After spending five days meeting with Cuban government officials, small business owners, and various Cuban citizens, I am now strongly supportive of lifting the embargo, or the "blockade" as the Cubans call it, and intend on making it a major legislative priority of mine in the 115th Congress.

Carol Perkins: The swimming pool story Solution to quest for own in-ground pool finally found, at the 'Y' Next earlier Carol Perkins column: Carol Perkins: Perils for apparel in Plate-to-mouth maneuver By Carol Perkins A few years ago I had a notion that I wanted an in-ground pool and had the perfect spot in the backyard picked out for it. "Too many trees," Guy said when I showed it to him. "Can you imagine cleaning up a pool filled with pine needles?" Every argument I had FOR a pool gave him an argument AGAINST a pool. Even the "I need the exercise" declaration went over his head or out his ears. Most of the time, we negotiate well, but this time he was not listening. "You would never use a pool!" That was his constant reply. The truth was that I liked the looks of a pool. Lights under the water and on the edge of the fence around it created a peaceful atmosphere. Floral cushions on the patio chairs and an umbrella table in the corner would add to the relaxation of an afternoon pool party of one. I wanted the "look" more than the pool.
