Fauci Saves
“If he came in, I’d give him something with coconut water, electrolytes—gotta keep him hydrated. The man works like crazy,” Rohit Malhotra of Capo Italian Deli told DC’s Channel 4. ReporterTom McFly did not reach out to Dr. Fauci for comment: “Gotta keep his eye on the ball.” McFly reported the “sale of these has in part kept staff enployed.” People come in for a sandwich and leave with a cocktail. —MV
Upgrades in the Time of Corona
I’m happy with CS6 on Capitan. I have really old tech and for the most part it works just fi ne. Once in a while InDesign will throw a tantrum and I have restart the whole desktop, but the laptop is fi ne. Or it was. Until Adobe said I had 10 days to upgrade or they would delete all of my software.
After some digging, I learned Adobe does not think I’m a bad person, but my incomplete CS6 probably has a blacklisted serial number. More importantly, I learned I can afford the complete Cloud. Hours of downloads later, CC doesn’t work on Capitan. Fine. But I’m paying for the whole cloud, so I should upgrade and use the whole cloud. Catalina is the only OS upgrade? Fine. Catalina it is.
Two days of crashes later, I was sure I broke my laptop. Apple Care happily sent me a link to downgrade to Mojave because CC also doesn’t work on Catalina. They said it was super customer friendly. N. B. D. I even told Luis to text that to an old teammate he’d reached out. The minute I fi nished downloading Mojave’s install package, I told him to text Eastman again to see if we could call him.
Of all the hours I spent downloading and installing the previous three days, those three hours were the fastest because Eastman said we had it. And eventually, we did.

Business of Help
When the CEO of Walmart appeared on TODAY and said the economy can’t come back without cooperation between big businesses and small businesses, I believed for a second that they were going to do something that would actually profi t the little guys... Walmart might show them how to use vinyls on their fl oors and hire more people to disinfect stores.

Why So Much?
We ordered chicken strips at Popeye’s and they didn’t just give us ketchup—they gave us all the ketchup. I don’t want a thousand packets of ketchup. Betty suddenly decided that night that she would rip open a packet and dip chicken strips in ketchup, but you know what? I already have a giant bottle of ketchup. What I don’t have enough of is Blackened Ranch cups. Give me a box of those.
