Whoosh or Not

OK , they can your ass b/c you're , probably , scooping bucks from the company and... you sue b/c you're contract calls for a performance bonus. A C. Mazza is suing the air ambulance service that he was in charge of for just that. And he got his girlfriend a plum job as well in the corp.

Soccer news: in Brazil , the rush to complete stadia for the World Cup next year is in full swing but going nowhere. The agreed completion date is Jan / 14 but the work is only at 80 %.
This event was to be a landmark for Brazil in world stature.
This week , a crane collapsed on the Corinthians Stadium in Sao Paolo killing two workers.

MERS is transferring from people to camels in Qatar. The Middle East Respiratory Syndrome is a corona virus. The virus does pass from person to person through close contact but doesn't seem to pass easily in communities
Species jumping for viruses is usually dangerous and a route for faster spread.

Black Friday is spreading. Stores here in the Big Smoke opened at 6 AM to mimic the craziness down south. Oh , we copy everything the U.S. does - only we lag a bit. The attitude is ' thats crazy but we'll do it anyway ' Whats good for General Bullmoose is good for ...Canada ?

Cyber Monday , awaits.

In the ' Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy ' by D Adams , a civilization collapses b/c Frogstar World B reached the ' shoe event horizon '. the whole planet was consumed w/ making and buying shoes , the economy goes into over-drive but cannot recover from the spiral.
Maybe we'll go that way w/ electronics. After all , the videos that they show of  BF shopping is people carrying boxes for TVs etc. 
You know -  get the newest model phone - your old one is 3 yrs old
3 yrs ????? How about 1 yr.
( Mine is an Apple 1 , except there was no number b/c it was the first - it was a donation - I kept whining about my Nokia and how hard it was to text - A got tired of listening and gave me the phone )

Weather : FRIGID and sunny Wind is down

Shop til you drop
