The Boat Is Still Stuck

I’m not sure why I’m fascinated with this, the ship that’s stuck in the Suez Canal and is blocking ship traffic.  How can one boat be causing so much disruption?  I really have no idea but dang, this thing is messing up everything.  heck, I’ve even heard that we may be seeing shortages on some items again.  The big toilet paper shortage of 2020 comes to mind.  My first thought is why can’t those ships go in another direction but I guess that’s like asking a semi to go around a winding road before getting to the interstate.  So now my question is, has this ship gone this way before or is this it’s first time.  I really don’t know that answer but I’m guessing the captain of that stuck ship can’t just blame it on “Siri” telling him a wrong turn.  So now this ship is stuck, other ships are waiting and I’m hearing that everything from coffee to adult toys will be affected by this thing.  HUH?  yep, so unless they can get this thing unstuck this week, I would stock up on whatever is your jam and let’s just watch to see if someone on this team comes up with some redneck idea, says quote “hold my beer and watch this y’all” and becomes a international hero.  It could happen.
