    Eric, I understand your predicament.
    I lined up everything to get my Off Road Sammy to Budapest, Hungry AND back from Bamako, Africa, For the Rally. (Kinda like the Dakar)
    Then my Son's both decided to get married that same time frame!!! (No nobody was pregnant!)
    I had to do a Bunch of "Please Sirs, and Sorry for your Troubles Mame' phone calls. Still lost the prepaid multi country Auto Insurance, entry fees, and one shipping container fee (My French isn't even good in English to this dude!)
    In reality, it's only money, I made more, and the Wedding's hilariously Priceless!! Can share those stories over beers on the HRPT.
    Still I should have went, and just looked at the Wedding pictures.........when I got back.....

          That's hilarious Ed. Especially after I spent most of the afternoon TP hunting here. Went to the north Sams where we normally shop after being warned by our younger daughter yesterday afternoon. Completely cleaned out. Heard that the south one was stocked so I did the 15-20 minutes drive down there. Same thing. I mean everything! Not just our preferred brand, but everything! Went over to the WallyWorld beside them & it was the same deal. Laura & I had been laughing about it over lunch so I even took a picture & sent it to her at work. After it dawned on me to try a WM that did not have a Sams on the other side of their parking lot, I headed back north to the one closest to where we live. The buzzards were busy picking the shelves clean there too but I did manage to score three of the big packages like we would normally get at Sams. I just slipped right between two middle-aged gals arguing about something, tossed them into the cart & kept moving. The TP, not the middle-aged gals. I also noted that the canned soup isles in both Walmarts were picked clean. We've all been through this nonsense before & we will survive. Click image for larger version

                I have a nephew that drives semi for a milk hauling trucking company. He picks up from dairies in Nebraska & Iowa & hauls to Ice cream & cheese makers in Colorado, South & North Dakota. He called Friday to tell me that one of the plants he delivers to in ND was making people check out rolls of TP & then check them back in after taking care of business. My best guess was that some of the folks might be stocking up their homes with them.

                    Just a matter of time until corporate owned public restrooms (like Lowe's, Home Depot, etc) restrict their use to actual customers like restaurants do.......

                        What is the draw of t-p.
                        I don't understand why "THIS" item is what people are stocking up on.
                        A friend that lives on your east coast ,text me that they cleared out the shelves of canned soup, beans, dry/powdered milk, rice, pasta, canned tomatos, and pasta sauce, t-p, bleach, cleaning supplies, paper towels. basically, if it isn't nailed down they were buying it.

                            No one understands the whole TP thing. People just have it in their mind that they have to have it in great quantities. We went to the grocery store yesterday and there were lots of empty shelves.

                                I'm getting the "Willey's" myself.
                                Spent this afternoon printing out receipts from my Flea Bay buys for the Run. Many are one off's just for this Run, won't work for different stops, points etc. If they postpone, I still good.
                                If they cancel, they won't work for other cities.
