During the Covid-19 shutdowns here in San Francisco, one newsstand stayed
open transacting business from behind sheilds at the front door and
since they
carried several SF magazines I spent some money on those while they managed
to stay in business. The owner operator had to close eventually which
lead me
subscribed to Linux Pro magazine in the digital format and I still get
it. That
was why I was a customer at the shop and also because the shop featured
a lot of brands of high quality chocolate. I will bring back another of my
ancient taglines . He went to work at Trader Joe's and since then the
quality
of their chocolate has improved. I could not find a way then to
subscribe to
the magazines aside from the Linux magazine. It is very depressing to read
of their present condition.
