It must be spring...somewhere

The clothing issue happens here in the South too.  The store drones will put out long sleeve shirts and jackets here in August.  Just want I want to buy when it's in the upper 90s, and 100% humidity.  Of course the short sleeves and shorts are available in Jan.

Goobs.

Yes, Robert, this is exactly  the thing I am also  MOST annoyed by in the Mad Rush to Merchandise!  It will be JUly in Georgia--hotter than h*ll here (and even worse--more humid) and I walk into a store and the IDIOTS have thick, hooded wool or down or quilted WINTER COATS just EVERYWHERE you look.  It practically gives me heat stroke   :mad: .  Also, WHO BUYS THIS STUFF in this state??  Even here in the mountains in December and January, we rarely need  winter clothing that is really warm.   When we moved here, I gave away all my ski clothes, down coats and  heavy wool Norwegian  sweaters and have never missed any of them.

 :Z Hmmm, I really LIKE  your word  "GOOBS, though." Not  sure what it means exactly, but think I get the sense of it--maybe it is a combination of "goof" and "boob"??
