Yo! Good morning. 66°, and sunny. Going to the low 80s.
Terry, welcome back. Nice that your feeling better.
Just back from my Thursday trip to ShopRite. Got away under $100.
According to an article in yesterdays Times Business News, the Supply Chain issues have been over for almost three months. They even included charts and graphs to support their position. Yet Sunday Morning, when two sections of I-95 in Philadelphia collapsed, the news media immediately reported
"that this long term arterial shutdown would further harm an already strained supply chain"... Stop embellishing an already tragic story.
Not for nothing but I-95 in Philly, is an important commuter route, also utilized by local commerce. Most truckers follow the NJ Turnpike avoiding I-95 from Newport Delaware North. Personally, this myth of supply chain issues justifies continued higher prices, when other economic "laws" call for reductions....
For example, at my favorite local supermarket, the price of eggs is down to $2.99 a dozen, although the sign on the cooler door still warns of
"continued shortages". We have been buying eggs (same brand), for $2.50 / dozen at the local warehouse club since before Easter, while the grocery was asking $7.99.
Big decision today, yard work or model railroad work.
