Are you kidding me? Joe & I were at Lowes on Sunday grabbing some knobs and whatnot for our fixer upper home project at the Ranch. And the big aisle right in front where normally there are important things like mosquito foggers, mosquito zappers, Off Skintastic (oh it IS skintastic) was devoid of these important items, and filled with Christmas Trees, and Tinsel, and Ornaments. This has got to be a joke. It was 95 degrees outside. We were drenched in our own sweat from walking the 15 feet from the truck to the door. Hello? It is SEPTEMBER. Halloween is 6 weeks away. Christmas is 100 days from now. See, there are 365 days in the year… Christmas is 100 days away… fast math fails me… but that’s nearly 1/3 of the year from now. I can remember a time when Christmas shopping did not even start at Thanksgiving. But a week after Labor Day? Has the world gone mad? Anyway, gotta run. Better start my shopping.
