Being Early Makes Me Surly

I’m sorry, but it’s just too early. I don’t care what you say...it is.

 

In fact, I would argue that being this early will mean that some things around your house will be stale...really stale.

 

What am I talking about? OK, so on Sunday August 10th, we were wandering the aisles of Sentry, picking up a few essentials.

 

Suddenly, just northeast of the produce department, we ran into a GIGANTIC display. I could NOT believe it. I was so stunned that I took a photo with my cell phone. Here it is:

 

 

Please forgive the quality, but what you see there is an enormous display of Halloween candy. That’s right, I said Halloween candy. On August 10th. Exactly 82 days before Halloween.

 

It's not enough that every neighborhood has multiple dates for Halloween. Now we have to think about those multiple dates nearly three months before they arrive!!!

 

Like I said, it’s just too early.
