there are a lot of reasons for not taking a ' Sea Cruise ' right now.

 

if ever .

 

the last nail in the Coffin ,  no bacon every other day ?

 

any bacon shortages near you ?

Wow! Talk about a first world problem. I am not aware of any bacon shortages here but I live a very sheltered life.

Lots of bacon here and I haven't noticed any big price increases.

as I read the article :

 

""   Heald made it clear that the company won't be rationing bacon. "We are not going to ration you and say you can only have one piece.   ''

 

love to see how many pieces people take on BaconDay.

 

saving some for tomorrow ?

 

after all , its the FoodTroughs that attract many , Id say.

There was plenty of bacon at the store last time I was there.   I want to get another package of Wrights and try making bacon jam so I'll check prices when I do that.  

One of my brothers is the biggest bacon hound I know and also works for Carnival.  I have forwarded that article to him and asked if he had anything to do with the situation 🙃

remmen ber the Coffe Cam ?

 

back when the internet was young

 

you could watch a coffee pot @  CalTech

 

and one @ SF State.   riveting .

 

Carnival would install a BaconCam  for

 

BaconDays.     

 

Carnival is going to run out of Bacon

 

just sooner using this method.

 

my 2 cents.

I'm trying to conceive of the planning snafu that caused this glitch.    Certainly they have acquisition models ad infinitum.  

[rotuts]

indeed.

 

there was a television episode

 

in a series that I can't quite remember the name

 

about the unloading and reloading

 

of a Carnival style ship in Florida.

 

the volume of people , baggage , massive food pallets 

 

was surreal , and timed down to the minute.

Tangential to rotuts' post, husband and I spent an entirely engrossing afternoon sitting on our room's deck overlooking Camden, ME harbor where a tall-ship was being outfitted for a week's sail.    To borrow a  local mover's slogan, truly "poetry in motion".
