It is OK, GW. I just do not like Microsoft®.
Plus, have you ever seen the photograph from when I was in San Francisco in January 2016, needing to get my groove back after my dad's passing; The key orbit was San Francisco Beer Week - moved up to January so as not to conflict with some BIG gridiron game scheduled there that weekend?
I got a bunch of photos of several places, including the now closed Anchor Brwy., but I also shot streetcars, trolley buses, and other public transportation vehicles.
An articulated trolley bus appeared on the corner where I was hanging out. So I grabbed a few shots of it.
It was wrapped in an advert. The salient line of the copy was, "Videoconferencing that doesn't suck".
It was an advert for Zoom.
Yes, in January 2016!

I intended to post here anyway. On Friday, the day after Christmas, I hauled out the 1987 Chevrolet Sprint to obtain discounted Xmas chocolates. I had a roster of four stores, with a fifth if I really needed it.
The first store was Aldi.
I was swarmed by Aldi's post-Xmas closeouts. Yes, it had a bunch of chocolates gravely marked-down (I'll be having this in the Teams® chat tonight: Choceur® Peppermint Crème dark chocolate 7.2-oz. 67¢), but also numerous beers being blown out the door.
These 'bonus beers' will also be consumed during tomight's Drunk Do.
So I didn't need to go to any other store then.
But wait - there's more!
While placing these beers in the beer cellar, I rediscovered a bottle of Trader Joe's Old Fashioned Egg Nog Liqueur [75 cL] from 2022 {judging by the 'Best By" date printed thereupon}. Have I related the beer cellar is very cool and dark, so I am pretty darn sure this is going to be fine.
I hope to see many of you there.
