A new blog to contain answers to prompts

Since my old blog "Everyday Canvas Open in new Window. became overfilled, here's a new one. This new blog item will continue answering prompts, the same as the old one.


Cool water cascading to low ground
To spread good will and hope all around.

Prompt: Are you noticing shortages of popular items on your grocery store shelves?
https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/15-grocery-items-suddenly-disappearing...

-----------------------------

Not really. I rarely go to a grocery store or a supermarket, lately. I have some of my groceries delivered, instead. The fresh produce, my son picks up and brings to me.

I haven't heard of or experienced any shortages in my area during winter months, so far. During the summer, though, just before a hurricane, the shelves are usually laid bare. That's why during the earlier summer months, I overdo my shopping by buying more of the stuff that can stay out a day or two without refrigeration.

That said, sometimes, a popular item or two gets taken off the shelves due to some contamination or a company going out of business. But there are always some other items that can replace the missing item.

I checked the link, btw, but as usual with MSN and some other news companies, the piece doesn't mention any specific thing that is disappearing, but it seems to be just an attention-getting off-the-cuff news.

I only hope our economy picks up faster and better and we have no shortages anywhere, whatsoever.
