For those Kindle-inclined history buffs, Andrew Roberts bio "Napoleon" is $2 on kindle daily deals today. Worth it even if you've read other Napoleon bios.

Re: Coronavirus - All Sports
I am at a complete loss as to why the Bundesliga (and KBO for that matter) is scheduling 5 games together and not staggering them 2-2.5hrs apart. They have no fans to worry about and this is mostly for TV. Seems to me this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to market all teams to a captive worldwide aud...

Effective 5/4, you will be required to wear a mask/face covering to enter Costco stores. If you thought the toilet paper fights in Costco were entertaining/frightening, wait until the videos show up of poor retail employees trying to stop people who won't adhere to this policy.

Sure, happens all the time. Leagues have been fining for years for saying words. Free agent "tampering", criticizing a league and/or refereeing, various slurs, etc. This is a stretch of the concept but hardly a new one.

It is a continuation of the Obama Administration's policy of Quantitative Easing (2008-15?) in response to the Banking Crisis. It is to make sure banks continue to loan each other money and keep it flowing rather than having them hoard it like Costco toilet paper.

I've watched (and admittedly bet on) many of the games and find the strategy decisions intriguing. Much as you shouldn't watch MLS expecting the Premier League, as long as you don't expect the NFL then the XFL can be an entertaining watch.

I assume this means either St John or Moncton. Both fine choices. I grew up on the panhandle border so I can help there though can’t imagine why you’d move there. No matter where in the province you are, some rudimentary French will be helpful.
