I recently fixed the local email on my Linux desktop. One of the side effects of never, ever reinstalling Debian is that things sometimes go wonky in the day-to-day upgrades and I never notice it. I last reinstalled Debian when I upgraded to a 64bit system in 2007. I’ve been running sid ever since then, which means that things break sometimes. When I decided to upgrade my hardware last week, I checked on my backups and noticed that the backup cron job hadn’t run since August.

This was at the last of many Low concerts we went to (2019). I guess I we won’t be going to any more.
My Dad took a great photo of a San Francisco street in the early ’70s and I’d been meaning to figure out exactly where it was and look it up on street view. It was surprisingly easy to do. I think I would have liked San Francisco in the ’70s a lot better. In addition to the Condor Club and Big Al’s, it looks like Sam’s Pizza and Burgers is still in business.

She’s flashing her membership card at the door and… Look at that, Tom, she isn’t grabbing a cart! It looks like she may be going for a two-store strategy here! The no-cart play will certainly limit her options, though should help increase her speed, Dan. It looks like she’s heading toward the produce. She’s picked up a 20 pound bag of potatoes! That’s a good choice from Costco, as they have the best quality Russets, but a really bold choice to carry without…
Berck woke up with a sore throat on Monday last week. He took a rapid test and tested negative. But he was miserable all week. I brought him home chicken soup from Chick-fil-a, along with a chicken to make him chicken tortellini soup, except I didn’t have any tortellini, so I used ravioli that had been in the freezer since spring 2020 when I wasn’t sure I’d be able to get any floatable stuffed pasta in my grocery pick up order, so I ordered all four possibilities and then ended up with all of them. This was in the days…
