One swallow does not a summer make

For quite some time I have seen barely stocked shelves at my local supermarket. Today the aisles were filled with pallets of food with a large number of workers feverously stocking shelves. So somewhere along the line, at least here, something is improving in at least one section of the supply chain. Hope springs eternal.

 

Anyone else?

I have never lost my faith but my hope went down the drain with the 2021 Fall Update and the mess it's created for my sales or LACK of them for the holiday season.  I've had ONE good day and the rest have been crickets.

Richard, we haven't had any problems here in the northern part of Clark Co. Plenty of food, Christmas stuff and turkeys.

     The sad thing this year will be the tragic passing of Kenny L. I shall miss those cute commercials at Christmas with he and his father from Lee's Liquor.

"feverishly" 

 

I think it was a joke?   😉

Ditto that. They were fun.

Still hard(er) to get some food stuff(s) and the specialty stores seem to always have what you want (Fresh market, Trader joes), but the prices are really higher this year than in the past.  Sticker shock on a few things for sure.

 

Still having issues getting pet food, kitty litter, etc.

There’s been some concern here in British Columbia since a major storm led to landslides that took out many highways. 

There has been a run on gas, which had finally dropped below $1.60 a litre so I guess that will rise again.

The supermarket is fairly well stocked but I notice that if there were a problem the small shops have lots 

On the other hand Vancouver is cut off by land with no access by road or rail and a lot of the best farmland in Canada is under water t

Now that I think about it I probably would have posted my line regardless of which word you chose. 😁
