Potato shortage due to poor harvest this year. More of that climate change they have been talking about. Now we are talking something serious.

I just went to the grocery store and stocked up on potatoes. Went to three places before I found the Russets. They had a few left. I wanted to be fair and leave some for others. :tiphat:
