    Seriously - Tom Hanks would have been a much better person to deliver that address.

    I wasn't, either, until today.

    We have not hoarded anything in my house. So, down to our last unused roll of toilet paper, and knowing that there was none in my Walmart store, I went on a search-and-seize attempt elsewhere on my day off.

    I guess because I usually pick up what I need on my way out each night from my store, or from Costco, perhaps I minimized the actual extent of shortages without even realizing it, even though I have first-hand, see-for-myself knowledge of them.

    I found this out when I went to six, yes, six, different stores in my area -- Costco, a Walmart Neighborhood Market, Smart & Final, Vons, Vallarta Supermarket, and finally, Valley Produce Market -- just looking for toilet paper, before I finally found two last packs of 4-pack toilet paper (a brand that I don't typically use) and also bought took two individually wrapped rolls of Scott toilet paper at the last location. There were a few more rolls of the Scott tissue on the shelf that I couldn't reach (and that's why I left them), but that was it. At every other place?

    Nothing, nada, zilch, literally empty paper-goods aisles. And yes, with each stop, I was getting progressively more genuinely worried that there might not be any toilet paper in my entire home town. I actually stood in the aisles, mumbling to myself, "Is there any store in this town that has even one pack of toilet paper?" My next stop was going to be a CVS Pharmacy.

    The stores, and the manufacturers, are not keeping up -- cannot keep up -- with the ridiculous demands of the hoarders/mercenaries, who are causing more problems than they probably realize right now.

    Until it kills Tom Hanks, and then all the "Aw, it's just the flu" nonsense will come to a screeching halt.

    Yep, maybe. But I think you know what I mean, right?
