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.
Happy birthday, Lee!

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.
Hippo birdies, Lee.

Have you cleared your cache since we got hacked?
I cleared history, cookies etc. Do you clear cache a different way? I've never been clear on that.
Happy Birthday, Lee!
