Last March my house in Utah had a bad flood. ($60,000+ in damage.)  The severity of the damage was primarily a function of the fact that the house was unoccupied. Last month, it flooded again! Fortunately, this time the leak was caught in a timely manner, and 'only' about $2000 in damage. 😠 ENOUGH ALREADY! I bought some leak sensors that communicate with me through WI-FI. Which is the reason for this post.

I ordered them - from Amazon - YESTERDAY, and they arrived TODAY!

Not in Alaska, of course, but still ... Yikes that's fast! Less than 15 hours between ordered and delivered! Like I said; Holy cow!

No wonder people like Amazon...

On the other hand, this just illustrates what living "at the end of the road" really means.

I resisted for a long time, but "supply chain" shortages drove me to give 'em a try too.
Dayumed if they didn't come through.
Their vendors sure know when something is in short supply though.
 My dog's food price went up 118% in 3 months.    


Not much else I can do when my local suppliers are out, and have been out since
April.  :cry:


Glad it worked out for ya Paul.
Even if you don't like lining Bezos' pockets any more than I do.

I use Amazon all the time for nearly everything. Linn County Missouri is akin to Kanorado, Kansas or  Wales, Alaska. My Amazon orders arrive in two days.

I buy my dog flea collars and Jesse's Latin books. Also have Amazon Prime.

We have a lot of floods here the towns on either side of us flood but fortunately we are a bit higher and further from the river.
