Forgot to add I did find cat food in Nogales, AZ during my recent visit. And I DID go a little overboard - but my cat is worth it. Sometimes I come home from a very long day and SO is still waiting tables and my cat will jump up into my lap and purr.

Today I went to order a sofa for my condo. I’ve ordered three sofas from the same store and it took 6-8 weeks for custom fabric in the past.
Right now it’s taking six months for a custom order.
So, I did something I never do and that is buy some thing they have in stock. I will have to recover the bottom seat cover myself, but I consider that not a big deal, It will be a weekend job and shouldn’t cost more than $50.
I am trying to drive even more cautiously than I normally do. In the event of an accident it could be hard to get parts and my auto insurer sent out an email advising of this but stating they are not extending rental car coverage times. Sucks to be you was the main point as I read it.
Now I think I need to go buy an extra bag of cat food!

Is anyone else following the news from BC? https://ca.style.yahoo.com/british-c...001232384.html
After recent floods and mudslides destroyed the highway, Vancouver is completely cut off from the rest of Canada. Now that will cause one big supply shortage. O_o
Yes, it has been a bit nightmarish here.
We have one community on the island of 200 homes completely cut off when the road simply got washed away. Another of about 50 houses lost their only road in a mudslide.
Some of the mainland communities here on the US/Canada border got it even worse.
A small taste of our local issue:

I'm impressed that the 200 home neighborhood got together and in an afternoon using the sawmill and machine shop over on their now-isolated region put together an impromptu bridge to at least get some foot traffic through, and organized a shuttle service on both sides.
We're still having mudslides. I had a large tree (big enough to flatten my home) simply slowly fall over this afternoon, luckily not doing anything more than blocking the road below me. The soil was so saturated the tree just...gave up.
I wonder what happens to the region when the Cascadia Fault quake hits?
OMG! That's terrible! I didn't know. Reminds me of Irene when we were in VT on vacation and flooding made most roads impassable for weeks--the road near us looked like some of the pictures in the article. Terrible! I also feel sad for your tree
I hope the area dries out soon, and the damage doesn't take too long to recover from.
