I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

- EMBCUB_200429_16.JPG: The day after I took this picture, a Texas man with an assault rifle opened fire outside the Cuban Embassy in Washington, D.C., early Thursday [April 30] and was charged with assault with intent to kill, authorities said. No injuries were reported but Cuban officials reported property damage.
Alexander Alazo, 42, of Aubrey, Texas, was arrested. He appears to have been shooting toward the embassy, according to a preliminary investigation.
A D.C. police report lists the incident as a "suspected hate crime."

- Wikipedia Description: Embassy of Cuba in Washington, D.C.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cuban Embassy in Washington, DC, is the diplomatic mission of the Republic of Cuba to the United States of America. It is located at 2630 16th Street Northwest, Washington, D.C., in the Adams Morgan neighborhood. The building was originally constructed in 1917 as the Cuban embassy, and served in that capacity until the United States severed relations with Cuba in 1961. On July 1, 2015, US President Barack Obama announced the formal restoration of diplomatic relations between the United States and Cuba. The building resumed its role as the Cuban Embassy in Washington, D.C. on July 20, 2015.
History
From the 1970s until 2015, the former Cuban Embassy housed the Cuban Interests Section in the United States. The Cuban Interests Section and its counterpart, the US Interests Section in Havana, were formally sections of the respective embassies of Switzerland (acting as protecting power), although they operated as embassies independently of the Swiss in virtually all but protocol respects.
On May 19, 1979, Omega 7 detonated a bomb in the building, which did more damage to the Embassy of Lithuania next door.
- Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.)
I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com
and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
