BROKEN LIES THE CROWN
The crown of Empress Eugénie was one of nine invaluable royal ornaments snatched by burglars during the Louvre heist in October, but the thieves dropped it on the sidewalk before making their escape. The Louvre announced it will soon invite restorers to submit proposals for the crown’s repair.

I loved Minny a lot! Solid ballpark, too.
When this is over, and it is warmer, please consider a trip to the Twin Cities. It’s a gorgeous, generous place with great museums and cultural spots, and a walk/blade/bike around the lakes cannot be beat.
With employees afraid to work and customers fearful, Minneapolis businesses are losing $10 million to $20 million in sales a week, according to city estimates.

People with no photography skills, appreciation or understanding consistently devalue photojournalists in a way that's just heartbreaking.
Washington Post laid off many of their staff photographers, too. Which seems missing from a lot of coverage I’ve read.

It's not overstating things to say that the entire American air network is built upon the back of the Canadian-made CRJ series. If this means Canadian aircraft are grounded in the U.S....woof.

This "tush push" is...without honor
Best thing about Star Trek. The Klingons. Just a planet full of raw football players that just need to be taught the game.
Give Nick Saban one year with a team full of 18-21 year old Klingons and run hard in training camp and they’re running threw the whole SEC
