Re: Omaha metro Starbucks that are temporarily closed-

The easiest way to tell if a Starbucks is open right now is through the mobile app. You can't go by looking at the "Stores" section in the app because that will show a lot open (likely grocery stores). However, if you go to the mobile order section, you can look at the stores available for...

Re: Creighton Basketball 2019-2020

Zegarowski is diagnosed with a “meniscus injury.” Likely out for Big East Tournament Thursday game (I believe likely the whole tourney). This is eerily similar to Creighton 2016-2017 season. They peeked at #7 in the rankings and Maurice Watson tore his ACL. They kind of held it together and but even...

Finding out about Marcus Zegarowski is key. If he can't play for the Big East Tournament...fine. If he's out for the rest of the season, Creighton's season is likely over.

Re: Cabela's wouldn't take my card without using PIN no.

I would think that PIN payments would safer. Here in England both credit and debit cards require PIN with chip transactions and can only be swiped w/o a pin after multiple chip (or reader) malfunction errors. I've also had my American debit card be required to use a pin at a grocery store in Boston.
