Mythos by Stephen Fry.

Stephen Fry re-tells the ancient greek myths in his own style, adding personal commentary along the way. Recommended.

I just finished reading a book, “The Fantastic Laboratory of Dr Wiegl” by Arthur Allen, that describes the work that Weigl did before and during WWII. I thought the book did a really good job describing the affects of typhus and the reasons developing a vaccine was so difficult.

Despite the title, only about half the book is about Wiegl. The other half is about Ludwick Fleck. Fleck was jewish and a former colleague of Wiegl’s who also developed a typhus vaccine.

Earlier this summer a man from Saskatoon bought a $800 canoe with a briefcase full of Canadian Tire money. https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/saskatoon-man-buys-canoe-with-...

These days I think they are trying to get people to switch to a credit card rewards type of system. But if you pay with cash you can still get Canadian Tire money.
