Remind me.  It was Labor Day recently right?  Paula and I made a visit to Costco to get some gas and salt today.  Strolling down the aisle a lady up ahead was promoting their Fresh Country French bread.  Getting nearer I thought was seeing things.  Kinda’ like a distant mirage.  There in the cooler next to the bread lady were pumpkin pies.  Good grief we just wrapped up the first week of September.  Add this to the pre-seasonal holiday marketing hype.   Now not only are Halloween costumes showing up on Labor Day but so are Thanksgiving pumpkin pies.

I’m wondering if Costco stocking up on pumpkin pie filling is going to cause a shortage of jack-o-lanterns this October.

You guessed it.  We left with two loaves of bread and one pumpkin pie in our cart along with the salt!
