Cubs fans shouldn't give up yet. I'm sure it's all part of Joe Madden's complicated strategy and the rest of us just aren't smart enough to figure it out.

Bad. Doesn't happen often. Happened tonight. Oh shoot - base runners - gotta put my phone down.
I watched the debate (kind of), and never knew who he was before it. And to stay even with the politics, I also watched the

This is a summary of an academic study about Canada by an MIT graduate student in economics. He manages to include the Mounties and hockey, but nothing about moose.
The Mounties and the Origins of Peace in the Canadian Prairies
Through a study of the settlement of the Canadian Prairies, I examine if differences in violence across regions reflect the historical ability of the state to centralize authority and monopolize violence. I compare settlements that in the late 1880s were located near Mountie-created forts with those that were not. Data from the 1911 Census reveal that settlements far from the Mounties’ reach had unusually high adult male death rates. Even a century later the violence in these communities continues. In 2014, communities located at least 100 kilometers from former Mountie forts during their settlement had 45% more homicides and 55% more violent crimes per capita than communities located closer to former forts. I argue that these differences may be explained by a violent culture of honor that emerged as an adaptation to the lack of a central authority during the settlement but persisted over time. In line with this interpretation, I find that those who live in once-lawless areas are more likely to hold conservative political views. In addition, I use data for hockey players to uncover the influence of culture on individual behavior. Though players interact in a common environment, those who were born in areas historically outside the reach of the Mounties are penalized for their violent behavior more often than those who were not.

Oh goodness.
I surmise that the violence relates to the fact that nobody can live in a place that is that cold, with that much snow, without getting a little bit cranky sometimes.

When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
Sympathy Like, Mr. I-Already-Went-to-DL-and-WDW-this-Year-and-am-Going-to-DLP-Next-Week.So the team within my company that I recently left to take a new position....every year we traveled somewhere for our management meeting. Guess where they decided to go at the beginning of next year now that I am gone....Orlando!
However do you fit that all on your business cards?

The crankiness stems from being so far from DL and WDW. That is all. Why do people try to complicate things?

I was supposed to go on a business trip to Los Angeles next month until they changed it the people coming to our NYC office instead. So no Disneyland sidetrip for me.So the team within my company that I recently left to take a new position....every year we traveled somewhere for our management meeting.

But if there were something like a fire or a flood in the NYC office they couldn't meet there and the LA trip would be back on? Just wondering.
