Why am I Not Surprised?

Yesterday I stepped into the local Dollar General (we all have one; they're everywhere) to buy some of the flavored, carbonated water I like. And what else did I find?

Halloween candy.

Let's see: it was July 28. Halloween is October 31, the last time I checked. So, it's just over three months off. 94 days away. And yet there's Halloween candy on the shelves.

Do I go on the rant about how it's still summer for about two months? Or the one about rampant consumerism? Or do I just sigh and let it go?

I'm going with the sigh. It just doesn't surprise me, although I wish it did.
