They claim that they "underestimated fuel usage".
Anyhow, they now calculate that the latest shipment will last til Tuesday.
Would anyone like to line up some bets on that? I say Sunday, about 5

the next truck ready...
Is anyone aware of whether 32 Old Slip is back on utility power?
Thanks,
Charles
