I've already told this story, but I'm old and can say it's cognitive decline causing me to repeat myself.
Growing up, I had two female bus drivers. Both were named Ruth. And my junior high and senior high study hall monitors shared the same first and last name ( same last name as me.)
Patterson Hood has a daughter whose middle name is Ruth. Maybe there's hope with the younger generation.

It was a yawn-fest the first time you told that story.

Former Uruguayan President José Mujica
He earned admiration at home and cult status abroad for legalizing marijuana and same-sex marriage, enacting the region’s first sweeping abortion rights law and establishing Uruguay as a leader in alternative energy.
also
As leader of a violent leftist guerrilla group in the 1960s known as the Tupamaros, Mujica robbed banks, planted bombs and abducted businessmen and politicians on Montevideo’s streets in hopes of provoking a popular uprising that would lead to a Cuban-style socialist Uruguay.

That’s too bad but he was very ill.
You won’t hear me say that about any other former leftist terrorist.

that's impressive
He escaped from prison twice
this too
unlike other leaders in the region, he was never accused of corruption or of undermining his country's democracy. (wish we could say the same)
that was a great article, thanks for sharing

I don't think they're related. They spell their last names differently.
