Still can't get twenties out of the ATM. Oh well, fifties spend just as good BUT...

I draw the line when the 7 day weather forecast only shows 4 days. What possible excuse could there be for that? They didn't teach snowflakes how to count on their fingers?

No milk today at the store here today, but people preparing for a strike. Fairlife has not been available for a couple weeks. Small county of 750k people...

I'm going to have to acquire a taste for the shit nobody buys. Fish sticks, frozen crawfish, grocery store pizza, Sam's cola, etc.

Sam's cola tastes like ass... The root beer is pretty good though.
Just avoid Vending machine fish sticks...

You nailed it.

No shortage of cows around here and milking them isn't optional. Can only wonder what they're doing with all that product. Suppose they've run into transportation problems and are dumping it down the drain?.

I like fish sticks. But I also like "Sea Legs", compressed random fish parts with all kinds of coagulators and such. I'm really a connoisseur of fine seafood!

What has been in constant shortage around here is the big fat Johnsonville sausages that I used to cook in the crock pot, and make sausage sandwiches with. Haven't seen those anywhere since the pandemic got rolling.

Also, the split dried peas have been hard to find, the kind my wife uses to make pea soup. In the last two years, I have found them once. I like pea soup when the weather is cold. I've been looking again the last few weeks, no go.

Woe is me.
