I was at HEB a day or two ago, and I was astonished by the number of empty shelves. There's no hurricane on our horizon; my only guess is that they're just not getting what they need. For two months, I was unable to purchase varnish, because of shipping issues that were keeping it from reaching the U.S. I had stocked up sufficiently that it didn't bother me, but now that it's available again, I had to pay $40/quart rather than $28. shoreacreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284698314697628805noreply@blogger.com
