    Along with more and more empty shelves in the stores. Costco and Sams are now rationing some items!

    They said the old record for ships waiting to unload was 30 something, that was in the last couple of months. Now we are at 61. The problem is moving the containers from the ground to the rail car or truck chasis. They can unload the ships quickly enough.

    I'm thinking shoes. An extra pair or two sneakers won't hurt. They say port volume is up 30%. Plus west coast handles 40% of the countries containers at thier ports.

    The single greatest quality any man can have is the true sense of gratitude.
    I honestly don't have much, if you're keeping score by the world's measuring stick.
    But I have a great wife who truly loves me; and I her. A nice little house that is almost paid for. A little money in the bank. And a profession that, despite the things that would otherwise make it tedious, angry, and dangerous, I truly like. I've never had a job where I couldn't wait to get back to work after a couple of days off.

    So, I wake up every day with a heart full of gratitude.....and I am grateful for that as well.

    And so, @Dave_in_AZ is, as usual, (but not always because Wisconsin is and always will be 10 times better than Pennsylvania), correct;
    Some people are indeed just happy and thankful.
    (And some people just can't wait for the opportunity to harsh your mellow).

    And honestly, it's a choice.

    That's cause Joe and Toe told China it would be best to anchor inside our territorial waters until their takeover of Taiwan is complete.

    No one is going to come into our waters and sink their ships.

    I'm thinking in a cartoon like mind set. What goodies I could get if I had a giant can opener to get into those containers. Doors forget doors.
