Working in this time of constant change, postponements and cancellations is a print journalist's worst nightmare.
In Friday's sports section, Bob Dunning's column so appropriately began: "WARNING: All of the games listed below may have been canceled before this newspaper hits your driveway, your computer screen or your smartphone."
Too many times this year, I've come halfway through writing an article, only to learn of a new county or state action negating everything I've been reporting on.
Those four interviews I compiled over the last 48 hours? All irrelevant now.
The photos I shot to go along with the story? They're no longer appropriate.
We may as well stripe a disclaimer across the top of each story, noting everything is "Subject to Change."
Case in point: this past week's grocery-store capacity goof-up.
Lines snaked around the building Monday at both Nugget and Trader Joe's as the state and county kicked off the week with differing policies regarding how many shoppers were to be allowed inside the door.

With Gov. Newsom capping entry figures at 20 percent (as part of the state's new stay-at-home restrictions) the California Grocers Association immediately pushed back and launched a lobbying effort over the weekend. The state eventually acquiesced, increasing the limit to 35 percent.
Only by the time that had happened, Yolo County had already released its guidance for the 20 percent rule. And my colleague, Anne Ternus-Bellamy, who works at light speed, had already fired off a story.
"And I'd checked with the county Monday, and they'd said they were sticking with 20 percent," Anne told me. "So I'd sent the article off."

She'd even assigned me to stop by and take a photo.
Of course, by the time I arrived for that picture at Nugget on Covell, the county had since rescinded that rule and the long lines were gone.
But for all I know, they'll have probably reinstated it by the time you're reading this.
Thankfully, in that case, we were able to update the story before it went to print. But print deadlines don't always get along well with these ever-changing rules.
You may have noticed Comings and Goings columnist Wendy Weitzel has been writing a story each week, rather than every other, for most of the pandemic. But even now, she says it's still near impossible to keep up with it all.
For the last few months, she's spent countless hours updating an online spreadsheet to keep tabs on the hundreds of businesses in town and how they're adapting to restrictions. You can view it at: bit.ly/DavisBusinesses.
"It's nice to be able to help them by sharing what's going on in town," Wendy says. "But at the same time, I have to keep my sanity."
She jokes that "Comings and Goings" has become more of a "Dine-In or Takeout" column.
"The kind of news I'm writing about is totally different than before," she told me.
What's making the entire situation even more confusing, for both journalists and readers, is the fact that we're dealing with different levels of government and different rules at each of those levels.
And lately, it seems like everyone - from state legislators to local school boards - seems content waiting on Gavin to call the shots.
But once the governor says something, for example, giving the OK for hair salons to open, that doesn't mean all counties will automatically OK it, too.
Thus the neverending confusion and discrepancies, not to mention arbitrary restrictions - some of which seem to have zero scientific backing.
"I'm writing a story for Sunday right now," Anne told me Friday. "And that's knowing I'll probably have to completely revise it tomorrow.
"That's just become the normal."
If you'll excuse me now, I've got to go edit Dunning's sports column.
Half the games he mentioned were just canceled.

Note from Zennie62Media's Zennie62 YouTube and Oakland News Now Today Blog SF Bay Area: this video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.'s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. What we call "The Third Wave of Media". The uploaded video is from a vlogger with the Zennie62 on YouTube Partner Channel, then uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Now site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours. Now, news is reported with a smartphone: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
