Hi Snowshoe, In Wisconsin, Subaru is a great franchise. I learned in Chicago as a service rep and in Texas as a asst. Zone Service Manager, that service always get busy when weather is at its extremes. For Wisconsin it is in the cold like right now. In Texas it is in July and August when it is the hottest. This chip supply chain is a huge event. All OEM's have a process by which they order their parts. If it is cheap, get a bunch. If it is expensive, lean it down to a faster turn. By now (I think a lot of it is from China shutting down their production of older tech chips - found a lot in autos). It is hurting all OEM's. I've heard it is getting better, but I think the ports are being throttled down by regulation supporting the unions. The fact that you must have a Class 6 to8 truck that is less than three years old (an emissions well intended law), to enter the port, is insane. That's what has kinked California's ports. To acknowledge it is a problem, is unthinkable. Much better to keep crippled up and inefficient and then blame some one else. Mean while park those waiting cargo ships beyond the horizon, so the public thinks we're getting it fixed. SHEESH! Unbelievable lack of truth and integrity. What ever happened to telling the public the truth? Vote the lying bums out I say! Bob

Every resident of Alaska gets an annual “oil royalty check” - a payment representing their share of the revenue from Alaskan oil. In 2008 the payout reached a high of $2,069, or $8,276 for a family of four people.

Read this today. Not sure is true.

So I looked it up:

The check Alaska residents receive from the state's oil wealth was once a joyous fall rite.
