One of my fruit-growing buddies called my attention to certain items that are sold on Amazon. Before he retired and started growing plants, he had a stressful job on the street where paying attention to leading indicators was desirable if he didn't wish to acquire extra holes in his body.
Old habits die hard. He has been watching volumes of certain items and he believes that there has been a recent up-tick in sales volume. That is, Amazon is selling ten-times more of these items per week than they were selling a few weeks ago.
Given that the weather is warming up, it must be to deter sunburn and mosquitoes. Right?
And these are probably going to 'Alf-goofye, Minnesota
I am very curious about where these increased volumes are being shipped to.
Amazon shipped out roughly 30,000 full-face masks last week. Amazing that Amazon had that many on the shelf. Assuming the "purchasing" season for upcoming festivities is between one and two months long, then we are looking at an army of 120,000-to-240,000 high-spirited protestors.
Stay away from crowds. If you get beaned by a rock, it doesn't matter if it was thrown by a good-guy or a goblin.
Other things the cool kids might be buying

| This is a harder call. Dirt-biking season is upon us and one would expect sales of these items to rise. |
I think you are the one driving cross country soon.
ReplyDeleteSwitch drivers, keep moving.
Avoid crowds
Crap!
DeleteI forgot about that.
ERJ, on the other hand, you are more aware than 99.9% of the population. I think you said it would likely be sooner rather than later, which may still be okay.

I've decided that Mr. Shock Wave is a great buddy to have on my intrastate trips. He's a handy guy.
ReplyDeleteIt would be even more interesting to know the source of payment for all of these and the shipping destinations(s)....
ReplyDeleteThey ARE known. But not by the average Joe.
DeleteThe trannies and all their friends or fiends I should say.
DeleteIs there a term to describe taking one letter out of a word and create another and it’s opposite?
The next ~10yrs will be epic. Rome / Babylon level comeuppance. May you and yours stay out of the blast radius.
ReplyDeleteThe Euro and Yen are good canaries in the coal mine for Western $. The US dollar will enjoy one last pop to the top after those two go tits up. Then poof.
The whole $$$ game changes 2030-2032 ish. World war in between. The math is inevitable. Plan accordingly, and pray. Pray, PRAY!
Hell is coming to breakfast…
Kinda like when the first robin shows up. ---ken
ReplyDeleteWhile I don't discount the potential we are talking about, it is also possible that that smudge of data is faked, or manipulated by DaNile in an attempt to psychologically entice someone into making a purchase - FOMO and what not. They do have those annoying "order quickly, we are almost out" kind of sales tactics.
ReplyDeleteIt could indeed be a simple act to "buy now" - large corporations have to eat like rest of us I suppose, and what better way than to make things appear scarce. That said, those do seem to be items that would be unusually useless in 95% of the situations that confront the average person in Summer.
ReplyDeleteStay away from crowds. Stay away from Blue cities.

All good advice
I happen to like the 'industrial sized' Sabre Red. Always carry it in the vehicle for those pesky wasps...
ReplyDeleteW-Anglo-Saxon-Ps? Enlighten me.
DeleteIn my experience a vehicle sized dry fire extinguisher is QUITE effective in cooling off a Hot Head.
DeleteThe policeman that responded after he stopped laughing thought it a good trick.
I could have done something far more violent, but it worked well enough for me to call 911 to deal with the moron.
like those pallets of bricks which are delivered conveniently where blm is going to gather
ReplyDeleteYa gotta aske yourself... who signed the delivery order. Commercial trucks don't just roll down the street by themselves.
DeleteNever heard a word about that, did we. Huh...
Time to ban assault liberals.
ReplyDeleteHow do you get Amazon to show the sales info? I've looked around their web site and not seen that, even when sorting for "Most Popular"
ReplyDeleteApril Fool joke?
