📰 Here are more stories you'll want to see:

1. The Colonial Pipeline is aiming to restore most service by the end of the week. But until then, we could see some shortages at gas stations in the Southeast.

2. Get ready for the Ford F-150 Lightning. That's the name of the automaker's new electric F-150, which will be revealed next week.

3. Should you tell your boss you're looking for a new job? Um, maybe, but be careful about that.

4. Many Americans delayed their mortgage payments in 2020. Here's what they did with that freed-up cash flow.

5. Have you had your vaccine today? McDonald's is placing a pro-vaccine message on its coffee cups and seal stickers.
