Went into Home Depot, Lowes and Walmart in the past week. Empty shelves are VERY noticeable. Never in my life have I seen such scarcity of many many items.

When to a supermarket yesterday, and a few days before that. The entire aisle for frozen deserts was empty. No ice cream, sherbets, popsicles, etc.

Don't know why. The freezer still worked, from what I can tell. Perhaps a shortage of frozen food delivery trucks?

November 19th, 2021 we ordered new metal railings for our front porch. Big-Box store, similar to Home Depot. Nothing custom-made; you just cut them to the size you need and install.

The guy said, ‘2-3 weeks’ and we could come back to pick them up.

Well, that came and went, so I checked our order on-line. Delivery is June 14th, 2022! And it’s a Wisconsin-made product.

So, I don’t know what’s up with that. Mainly, we’ve been buying up basics for car and truck maintenance. I need a new truck, but that’s not looking like it will happen anytime soon, so need to keep my old one limping along for a few more years. :(

My wife got the last two bags of tater tots at Walmart yesterday.
Everything was bare.
