    My wife gets all sorts of magazines in the mail. She got one earlier this week but I was just going though it earlier today and was amazed. Let's see now. It is still almost 9 weeks left in summer. Halloween is still over 100 days away. But, in that magazine is mostly stuff for fall and several pages of Halloween junk. What gives?

    And I'd make a bet if you went looking for bathing suits now in the middle of summer you'd be hard pressed to find any. I well remember one time I had a crew working and it was really hot. I promised them if we got done by 3:00 we'd all knock off and head to Muskegeon to go swimming. I lived 160 miles away and for sure had not packed any bathing suits so went to pick up a pair. Not! Could not find any suits for sale and the temperature that day was well into the 90's. After all, it was early August...

    Got a Christmas catalog in the mail today. Not bad; 5 months and a day before Christmas.

    My AC in my bedroom died a few years ago in the beginning of August, I went to Home Depot to get one where a month ago they were stacked floor to ceiling. They didn't have any, but they were putting snowblowers on the sales floor. :hair:

    Years back when the kids were here and I had my pool, Wal Mart would stop getting pool Chemicals in August. So I had to buy Buckets of Chlorine in July to get me to Labor Day Weekend. Then in February they would stock pool chemicals in February when you can't swim till late May around here. Geniuses they are.
