The two seasons of Puerto Rico

I had to go to (GASP!) both WalMart and KMart today. If the "big 2" are the indicators, Puerto Rico has two seasons - Christmas and Summer.

All the Christmas stuff - even the close-outs - are gone from both stores. In the space where Christmas used to be they are now re-installing the Summer lawn-and-garden centers. Those spaces will remain lawn-and-garden until the second week of September when they revert to North Pole South.

Of course, Christmas and Summer are our two favorite seasons anyway so we're fine with that. And, with apologies to those of you still suffering through it, Christmas and Summer are seasons we prefer over Winter and Road Construction, which are the two seasons in Michigan.
