Come see me on tour!

If you'd like an essay-formatted version of this post to read or share, here's a link to it on pluralistic.net, my surveillance-free, ad-free, tracker-free blog:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/02/16/narrative-capitalism/#bezzle-tour

My next novel is The Bezzle, a high-tech ice-cold revenge thriller starring Marty Hench, a two-fisted forensic accountant, as he takes on the sleaziest scams of the first two decades of the 2000s, from hamburger-themed Ponzis to the unbelievably sleazy and evil prison-tech industry:

Josh Getzoff shared this picture of Mike Rupp "thawing out post-morning skate walk" on March 2 in Calgary.

And this picture, which gave the weather conditions at the moment.

I couldn't help but spot this in the background of the first photo:

Sid, without a hat or scarf, standing outside (possibly not even under the awning) in the falling snow and below-zero temperatures, signing for fans.

#Sidney Crosby #Pittsburgh Penguins #March 2 - 2024 #Calgary #granted ...#Sid took (presumably) took the bus to morning skate #(though he has been known to walk in Winnipeg #so maybe not)#still #I would have had a scarf #maybe a hat #I would have been running for a heated space

According to provincial data, there’s a big difference in vaccination rates between rural and urban communities for whooping cough.

Seventeen cases of pertussis, commonly known as whooping cough, have been confirmed in the Okotoks area since November, including one person who was hospitalized. AHS said all the cases were “locally acquired.”
