Thanks guys, it's not very expensive, and I don't get much for it, but the cost of self publishing paperback was not worth it to me.  I'm working on Book 2, about half way done, and am looking into how to publish otherwise.

hard copies would seem unnecessary these days

Folks still like book stores and libraries.  And I think the fact that a thing is published is an imprimatur of something, it was vetted, probably is written reasonably well etc.

On Sunday, Purdue announced that head. Coach Jeff Brohm had tested positive for COVID-19. The school did not specify his status for this weekend’s game against Iowa in the announcement, but stated in a release that Brohm would address the positive test during a Zoom press conference on Monday.

“During Purdue’s daily COVID-19 testing on Sunday, Oct. 18, head football coach Jeff Brohm returned a presumed positive result via an antigen test, we are awaiting confirmation via a PCR test,” the statement read. “He informed his staff and the team this afternoon and is currently at home in isolation. Coach Brohm will address the media via a Zoom call Monday during his scheduled weekly press conference at 11 a.m. ET.”

from the press conference earlier today...................

-- Frost said he's confident that Nebraska can keep its Covid-positivity numbers under the Big Ten's aggressive thresholds this season. Frost said that enough players have either tested positive for the virus or tested positive for antibodies that he believes Nebraska should be in the clear. He also said that Nebraska currently does not have any players opting out for the season, or have players who will miss time because of a positive test.

And so to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Rufus' epic attack on Brutus and, at long last, the return of Big Ten play and the Buckeyes' much-anticipated 2020 season (beginning Saturday vs. Nebraska at noon ET), that's exactly how we decided to present it. Alternatively from both perspectives: Ohio State's and everyone else's.

Mayors from Big Ten college communities sent a letter to conference officials asking for more “practical measures” to slow the spread of COVID-19 during game days.

According to the letter, football games commonly “generate a lot of activity, social gatherings, and the consumption of alcohol,” which contribute to the spread of COVID-19.

To combat this, the mayors are asking for the following measures to be taken by the Big Ten:


***Define the metrics used for the overall community population positivity rates and test positivity.

***Work with local leaders and health departments in deciding whether or not a game should be played.

***Release game times and schedules as early as possible and make an effort to avoid having evening or late afternoon games.

Eleven mayors from Big Ten college towns in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Iowa, Ohio, and Wisconsin signed the letter. The mayor of Lansing also signed it.

Not listed in the letter are the mayors of Urbana-Champaign, IL (University of Illinois), Newark, NJ (Rutgers) and Lincoln.

Washtenaw Counties exempted Michigan football from their stay-at-home order for UM students.

I agree the season is going about as expected, I would term it as being "OK", not a "SS".

I guess it depends which program you're following.
