One thing to note if you're traveling, the TSA app, which shows wait times for security screenings, has not always been updated during the shutdown.
For example, the lines in Houston stretched all the way downstairs to baggage claim, but at times the app showed a zero to 15-minute wait.
Americans on the go used to be all about the bowl.
Onions, cucumber, tomatoes, lentils.
People were piling up the ingredients onto what social media deemed the slop bowl, the kind of healthy, kind of mushy combination of protein and a grain and something green.
But customers are getting tired of them and the high price tags.
Restaurant prices have been rising at a sharper rate than groceries.
One analyst calculated that over the last four years, the prices at Chipotle went up nearly 25 percent.
Sweet green salads climbed almost 20.
The price crunch hit low-income consumers first and is now affecting the middle-tier consumer, who was prime slot bowl demographic.
Where there used to be lines out the door at lunchtime, sales and traffic at chains like that are down.
Sweetgreen's stock plunged 76% in the last year.

We'll be back tomorrow.
From The New York Times, it's The Headlines.
