Virus Battle, Bernie, Sushi, and the Police Log

Viruses: Yesterday Peter and I bought a new version of Norton Antivirus to try to clean up his computer. We had problems installing it, and then I called Norton for help.  After many fruitless attempts to get it installed with help from Norton (three hours on the phone to India!!), I eventually got referred to the "Elite Senior Support Group". The Elites called back today and they took remote control of the computer. They found and deleted hundreds of viruses (literally!), but even after that Norton wouldn't install. So we're still working on that. Bernie: On the Bernie front, they say he's fixed, and I'm planning to go back to pick him up tomorrow. They want to "show me something", which I think means that they think Sarah's been doing something wrong that causes it to break. I don't really see what that could be, but we'll see. Sushi: On a more pleasant topic, we went to Blue Fin on Wednesday to splurge Dad's birthday present from Grandma and Grandpa. We just told the chef to give us whatever he wanted, with a certain price limit, which was a great idea. No decisions and the food was really good. We had a couple of appetizers, then assorted sushi, rolls, and dessert.  Plymouth Police Log Highlight: (reported in the Plymouth Meeting Journal) A retail theft was reported on August 14 at a Plymouth Meeting Supermarket. A loss  prevention officer saw a woman select chicken from the cold meat case. She placed the price tags from the chicken on three packs of steaks. She went to the cash register and attempted to purchase the steaks for the price of the chicken. Police learned that the woman attempted to pay $12.60 for three packs of steaks totalling $81.89. She was charged with a felony count of retail theft.
