Dr caught me out in the parking lot today and after cutting up a little she told me to keep Tom at home . Said covid was really bad right now and she had 8 people today with it. Said for me to wear mask and use lots of hand cleaner and stay away from everyone. She doesnt believe Tom would survive if he contacts it.

Wow! That is amazingly fast. Glad you liked them and Rocks from Virginia?:weeYippee! Rock hounds are easy people to please. Somewhere I have a picture of me sitting on top of a big pile of rip rap happy as a clam in the sand where nobody can find them.

Hi everyone. I was lazy yesterday. Didn't do much constructive at all. Set here and watched stupid movies on Comet TV and ran warm water out to the chickens every three hours. I don't mind winter but this super cold sux.

Are any of you having trouble finding meat that you want or is it just here? I buy our groceries from a BIG local chain. These people never short on anything that they sell. So I did two months worth of shopping, always a bite money wise but this morning my designated shopper was texting me that they were out of beef round steak, chicken thighs, and bulk chicken leg quarters. They were able to find substitutes for me, mostly frozen Tyson products but I sure hope this isn't a taste of things to come.

There was an article in a local Farm Bureau publication that we get about the meat shortage. Around here they said, meat producers are not making more for their beef when they send them to market. The mark up is coming from the processors and the stores. That is bad they point out because the price of feed is going up yet they aren't seeing an increase in profit to offset the expenses they are dealing with. As a result some of them are getting together to set up their own processing facility and butcher shops where consumers can go to buy direct.

The big question is what is going on between producer and grocery store to make the prices go up in the first place.

Not just meat! Went to our family neighborhood Walmart, I call it little Wally world. So many empty shelves! And we can't find 1% milk at any store.
