Saudi Arabia To Fine People Who Lie About Their Health Status Upon Entry To Kingdom -- March 9, 2020

Wow, it's impossible to keep up. I just blogged about how the Saudis are scrounging for cash (see this post) and now a reader sends me this headline story from Reuters: Saudi Arabia to fine people up to $133,000 for hiding health details on entry.

That's a crazy number, $133,000. I'm sure it's based on rials and today's conversion rate turned it into $133,000.

By tomorrow, the rials may be worthless. Just saying.

And, oh, by the way, $133,000, or even $150,000 is better than having your right hand cut off.

Have You Considered A Video-Teleconference?

MDU Resources postpones its annual investor analyst seminar. The reason, if you have not guessed: coronavirus.

By the way, speaking of coronavirus, a staff worker at Disneyland, Paris, France, has tested positive for the little bugger.

The most important thing to note about this photograph? The can of Spam is the original flavor, the real deal -- none of those specialty flavors -- back in 2012 there were thirteen varieties of Spam. I don't know how many there are today. Hormel occasionally comes out with "limited" seasonal varieties.

Someone, of course, came along and ranked them. I was completely surprised to see Portuguese Sausage; I did not know. I was thrilled to see Chorizo Seasoning -- Mex-Tex -- come out on top.
