Are You Wondering Why You Can't Find Products On Store Shelves Or Why You Never Received Your Online Order?


 Have you noticed that the amount of products on store shelves has been getting smaller and smaller with the ability to find common everyday items growing harder and harder to find? 

There is now a two fold answer to why this is happening. It has been well publicized that there has been a problem getting cargo ships into ports and unloaded due to labor issues. As of the time of this article there are over one hundred ships sitting off the California coast waiting for a chance to dock and offload.

That's a terrible and unprecedented problem.

Unfortunately for the American consumer there is even more bad news. The goods that make it to port and actually get offloaded are packed inside shipping containers and those containers get loaded onto trains for shipment across the country. Those trains leave the port and travel through the city of Los Angles. Unfortunately once those trains enter the city they are pounced on by thieves who break into the containers and pull everything out. The thieves rummage through the contents for stuff they can sell and leave everything else all over the tracks.

Did your Amazon order never arrive? Well that's probably because it's somewhere in the piles of garbage on the railroad tracks in Los Angeles.

In this video a representative for the Union Pacific Railroad blames LA County DA George Gascón's No-Cash Bail Policy for releasing the robbers that they capture within 24 hours so that they can return to the tracks to rob their trains.

Abandoned Louisiana - The Pirate's Cove Water Park / Resort in Iowa

 About ten minutes east of the city of Lake Charles are the remains of an abandoned water park . The decaying structures are clearly visible from the busy I-10 freeway and for years drivers have wondered about it's history and why it was left for dead.   The Pirate's Cove Water Park actually has a rather interesting story behind it. A story that has been repeated over and over again, unfortunately, here in Louisiana. It's just another example of how government bureaucracy in this state killed an enterprise before it could ever get off the ground. Construction on the park began in 2008 and it was scheduled to open sometime in 2010. The sprawling complex was envisioned as an oasis from the hot summer heat that would feature luxurious amenities like a 900 foot long lazy river, a giant splash pad for the kids and eventually a five star hotel. The Pirate's Cove would have been an obvious tourist destination that could have brought much needed tax dollars and employment oppo...

Abandoned Louisiana - The Old Hightower Family Home in Dodson

I have to admit that I have been hanging on to these photos for a couple of months now just looking for the right minute to post them. Back in November I was traveling up to El Dorado, Arkansas and I passed through the small town of Dodson. While driving through town my eyes spotted a very attractive old house up on a hill and I just had to stop and take a few photos of it. I honestly don't know the history of this house, but I'm sure some local will send me message telling me all about it (and someone did see the UPDATE ), and it's not as cool as an abandoned railroad locomotive or old movie house but it really spoke to me. I have to wonder about the people who used to live in it and how it ended up in the state it is now. Anyone can see that it was a beautiful house long ago. What happened? How did such a grand residence end up like this? Those are questions that I can't answer unfortunately.  Unfortunately a site like this isn't all that uncommon here in Louisian...
