May 11: Day 56--Day 1 of Week 9
Engrossed in reading the Tesla lawsuit against the Alameda County word for word! #DinnerCanWait
My summary of the lawsuit: They hired a litigation powerhouse, so the complaint looks "sexy" with all kinds of constitutional due process grounds and all. But essentially they are saying Newsom's order makes sense, and Alameda's order is in conflict with Newson's order. So it should be preempted. I think Tesla might win this---may not on merit, but based on common sense political and economic sentiments.

May 13: Day 58--Day 3 of week 9
Went to buy pet food today. There were significantly more cars on the road than two weeks back when we last visited the store. Customers were all wearing masks and maintaining social distance. Heard the most encouraging news from the owner of the store---a small 'mom and pop' establishment that we often go to. He said with reduced hours, he has been able to cut some operational cost, but has been able to earn roughly 80% of the revenue even during the SIP. Bless the pet owners and the staunch supporters of the local businesses!

Morning post:
Signs of the time! Vending machines dispensing personal protective equipment!
Afternoon post:
Unexpected perks of the shelter-in-place. Tesla sent their servicepersons to my doorstep to replace a recalled part. Everything was done on my driveway. No struggle deciding how to manage having to take the car to the service station on a workday. WFH FTW! (Work from home for the win!)

Glad to have virtually met the founders and key players of Kolkata Foundation over a zoom call today--right from my backyard. Didnt matter if they were here in the Bay area or in New Jersey or the Washington DC metro area. Detailed Excel spreadsheets can be so motivational when you see the impact of your contribution and appreciate the hard work that goes on the ground to make it happen. https://www.kolkatafoundation.org/
