poltr1....was seeing the back-to-school supplies being stocked in the seasonal section of the local Wal-Mart. (Yeah, I occasionally make forays into the Evil Empire. Mostly because they're the only retailer around that accepts plastic bags for recycling.)
We just had the Fourth of July! It can't be back-to-school time already, can it? In some places, like New York State, school doesn't end until mid-to-late June, and doesn't start until right after Labor Day. Here in Ohio, it ends around Memorial Day and starts again in late August.
Nothing like rushing the season to discourage kids from enjoying their summer vacation.
While I'm thinking about it, there's only about 170 shopping days until Christmas, give or take a few.
