I was down at the Fifth Avenue Store in New York and after about 10:00am the lines sort of calmed down after a huge push. One guy had been in line for four days, which suggests that he may have been underemployed under this administration. We need a Peace Corps for people like these.

Anyway, the guys from YouRenew.com were there in big iPad v. Kindle outfits and I think this image, below, sums up the future of human interaction from now on out. So long and thanks for all the fish, indeed.
