Overload of the Day

[cfherrman]

Idk I'm in Kansas, the only times it's over 3 (maybe 4) days is if USPS touches it

As stated, much is Air Freighted and do not know it. For me in Central MO, typical is Three days, from surrounding several states Midwest Region, minimum five to eight days off the coasts. Anything special order anywhere from 15-90 days.

Amazon has built stocking warehouses all over the country for their cheap products.
I can think of 3 within a 10 mile drive of me, huge tiltups with 500,000 sf or more.
The irony is the one closest to me is near Fredrickson, port of Tacoma. It is a remote extension of the port with plenty of rail, and yet they did not build in Fredrickson proper and have no rail. It is still all truck.
I'm thrilled you see UPS and Fedex on the rails. I'm a huge fan of railroads.
I hope they can move more and more to rails rather than less.

They built a big one in pa right beside 81 at the md line finished it last summer sometime. Still had the for least signs up and not a soul around the place.

Amazon built a large facility about 35 minutes North of my place about 2018ish. Busy, busy place. 2020 came, they got so busy, they built a second facility about ½ mile North of 1st facility. By the time they got it finished, they had optimized their other facility and demand had shrank back that they've never used it. Parking lot is empty, truck gates have weeds growing up in the cracks already. Only vehicle you see in their lot is the security guard they pay to keep the homeless and riff raff away.

I wander if that's not what happened there too

That is how it always seems with commercial real estate. Company builds or gets landlord to build huge palace. Plans change and it sits vacant for years. Eventually gets sold and used by somebody else not for original purpose.

But never put back to the valuable farmland from whence it was....

I see that around here and it pisses me purple. I take comfort in knowing that mother nature will claim even the concrete in 1000 years after we end our stupidity.

Issue is--we produce more than needed-especially when it comes to grain.

While on the issue of over building-----here is a fine example of tooo muucch crraaannneee.
Lampson built it for Hitachi some 13 years ago now, hasn't moved or hoisted even a dirty
penny. Lampson got paid the millions----and Hitachi passed it on in mini's.

What they are paving around here was prime veggies and fruit land. Truck farming so now we are back on topic.

Wife is in "spring garden mode". Evidently made a home depot run for mulch and had the honda loaded down when I got back from work today. I spotted the camber as I pulled in.

There's probably 5 pickups setting at the shop. But she'll load the pilot to the gills and then complain that it smells in her vehicle.....

I would feel different if--40% wasn't thrown away at stores. The waste and culling is
ridiculous

Truck farms were the ticket in MO and IL for the last century. Great Aunt and Uncle’s farm in IL was 210a. Say was as the place is now sold. City of Greenville looking to add Lake frontage at the north line and a real estate ‘Mogul’ looking to corner the low income housing market on the 110a open fields while developing that lake site.
Cousin that owned passed in her sleep a week ago, her daughters, my second cousins, sold the place in 24 hours.

Our small place along with three other properties were Spanish Land Grant section homestead, the original owners planted in our front yard. Smaller parcels are being divided out for residential “Rural Lifestyle” home sites, more like scavenger settlements.

Most of the neighbors are our age or slightly older, will undoubtedly be seeing far more of that develop in near future. Land is currently over $7500/a and still climbing. Still considering sale where realtor noted may be able to catch the wave at over a Mil for what we have. Just do not know where else would go.

Mine was I believe a sarcastic line from SNL. But yours is not correct either.
Captain Hazelwood was a 42 year old captain with a huge drinking issue.
Two dwi's to his credit, maritime control/laws at that time didn't consider
a captains driving record like aviation does. The correct accurate version--

{Evidently were leaking some oil and going to be here a while}. followed by a hiccup.
