I just discovered a join command I have been using for years stopped
working on 11/27. The command is
join -a1 ~/daily/Input ~/weekly/Input
What I am trying to do is join the date matched daily and weekly lines
but include all the daily lines. The data exists to date but the join
stops at 11/27.
The file structures haven't change. Nothing has changed as far as I can
tell. The output includes all the daily lines but doesn't include any
of the weekly lines after 11/27. I have no idea why.

them. That worked. I also tried deleting the first couple of hundred
lines from the two files. That didn't work. Odd.
