One thing Al doesn’t mention is that Sacramento is only calling part of the 
shots. Here in the Bay area we are under control of the local authorities, who 
have things locked down much tighter than the rest of the state. The state 
folks are talking about starting to ease things over the next week. Here it 
will be at least a month. Take a look at the info at the Santa Clara County 
website for more info. Then realize that Silicon Valley is mostly inside Santa 
Clara County, and you will then start to see why getting things built and 
shipped from here is so difficult.

We will get out of this, we just need patience. At least we are finally 
starting to be able to get toilet paper and rice. Flour is very difficult, 
though. It seems that everyone is baking… Masks? Forget it. We have to make our 
own.
