I found your refrigerator. It's just off the coast of California! I just bought some kitchen cabinets and bar stools and the wait was 2 months. The same 2 month wait for two recliners too.

In December the Port of Los Angeles reported that there were 46 container ships stationed off the shores of California’s Long Beach and Los Angeles ports – a marked drop or more than 100 earlier in the month. (Fake news)

However, according to data provided by ship-tracking website MarineTraffic, there are currently nearly 100 cargo ships waiting to dock. The same number of ships waiting, just a new way to count them.

The inconsistency in the number of ships stems from a new policy recently employed by shipping trade groups that encouraged incoming vessels to wait out in the open ocean amid these traffic jams – rather than at the backed-up ports. While the ships remain out in open ocean areas they are not counting them.

That seems a little...........Oh, never mind!
