I was going to say that I thought that it was a lead time for manufacturers - much like the lead time for advertisers in magazines. It's not really for the general public - but we're curious anyway.

What's less easy for me to understand is how the stores schedule things. Like, summer clothes disappearing from the shelves in favor of earth-tone sweaters and fall coats in mid-summer, and swim suits and slinky tops all over the place in February. (The cruise-wear market cannot be that big.)

Yup, I got the "winter coat" issues of the kids' clothes catalogs I get (Lands End, Hanna Andersson) last week. Last week it was in the lower 80s; we're only just breaking into sweatshirts, never mind winter coats. But "fall" is on sale, which is actually good as I take stock of what long pants still fit my kids from last year.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What's less easy for me to understand is how the stores schedule things.

Yeah, I mean, I like it because by the time I'm ready to shop for seasonal clothes, they are on clearance, but still.

Home from the vet -- more than half an hour each way seems a little ridiculous for a 15 minute (!!) visit, but I can't imagine starting over with a new vet. Anyway, he has a fever, so maybe this is a new virus? And/or an ulcer. Either of which would be related to the steroids he's on for the possible cancer situation. So that's fun. New drugs, call in the morning.

I cleared history, cookies etc. Do you clear cache a different way? I've never been clear on that.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Happy Birthday, Lee!
