Today, Hugo Chavez announced that he would surrender the military site which provides "air cover" for the presidential palace at Miraflores in order to create a grand new "Central Park"/"Bolivar Park" from the former La Carlota Military Airport in Caracas. Is this an indication that Hugo is trying to establish a "legacy" that can later be renamed for him after his death from cancer? He claims to be "gifting" the soon to be converted park to the people of Caracas. The land was his to "gift"? Wow. This is some uber-prime downtown real estate.

I recall that every morning, at about 9:00 or so as I was exiting my hotel in Chacaito, I would hear the loud Wup-Wup-Wup-Wup of a Huey helicopter flying low overhead, making a pass over the barrio.
