I've been thinking all day about what the next shortage in Phoenix will be...

In 2003 it was gasoline due to a pipeline break. In 2004 it was electricity due to a transformer fire. In 2005 it was water due to excess runoff with an unusually high level of particulates. Not to mention the shortage of Flu shots (I mean hay, that was a national thing). It seems like it's something every 8 months. I was thinking the next one would be cable television, natural gas(it was only 10,000 people who are affected by a a leak in a line near 19th Avenue and Thunderbird Road.), or air to breathe. I was wrong the next crisis happened today... sort of. The shortage is toilet paper... not really it was a hoax, but it's nice to know I'm not the only one preparing for the next shortage. Props to Deejays "Krazy Kid," "Ruben S.," and "Corina," at 104.7 KISS FM. They caused a small run on TP after announcing that a paper plant in California had to cease production because of bacterial contamination. What do you think the next crisis will require us to conserve?
