Summer 50% Off

The fourth week of July usually conjures up images of summer camp, swimming, vacations, back-to school shopping, amusement parks, back to school shopping…

Dubya-tee-eff. Back to school shopping?

According to Yahoo, summer break is over and it is time to think fall. Forget about today, it is already yesterday. I don’t know why summer had to go, I don’t know, it wouldn’t say. Ringo penned it not me, but it is fitting.

So put away those shorts and beach towels kids, time to head to WalMart and buy some notebooks. Tomorrow is already here, and there is a sale; summer on discount baby. Can you say blue light special?

The rules of nature and the seasons like the one about summer containing August no longer apply. We aren’t warming up the planet. Instead we are giving it ADD. Mother Earth is being rushed by our need to blast at light speed to the next holiday, and she probably is watching too much television as well. Maybe it wasn’t a good idea to give the planet XBox 360 for a birthday gift.

Did I just see a leaf fall? I guess I better break out my sweaters.

Just look at those evil children, knowing the savvy marketers will be separating their parents from their hard-earned cash earlier then ever before. That means cool new backpacks as you can plainly see in the picture.

The seasons and holidays all seem to get in the way of each other nowadays, each one competing with the calendar for attention. No sooner do we get to the arrival of one then it is shooed away in mid-stride in anticipation of the next celebration or event or whatever.

Out of the way Thanksgiving, the biggest shopping day of the year follows you up. Hurry up Forth of July, there’s a sale next week at Target on school clothes. Let’s move it or lose it Valentine’s Day, Jesus is on his way back soon and he needs to use the restroom. Badly.

Now if you will excuse me I have a Christmas list to make; nothing major, just some thinking for down-the-road. Summer is over after all, it’s time to think snow!
