WHATEVER HAPPENED TO VELCO?

I have been to three stores today in search of Velcro. Office Max, Publix, and Walgreens. No one has it. Not a strip, not a roll, not a tab. Why? This is a product you could find just about anywhere. It's
like not being able to find Scotch Tape or Elmer's Glue, or thumb tacks. Oh,wait! You can't find thumb tacks anymore. Or old-fashioned picture hooks. (Today they only have those Command things, that they insist don't leave marks, which I don't believe.) DVDs are disappearing.  Cassettes are already gone, but, oddly enough, LPs are coming back. Maybe I had better hold off before tossing out those Sinatra albums and the cabinet I keep them in, which I could fix if I could only find some Velcro.
