There are two seasons of the year: Candy and Barbeque.

Candy goes: Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day, Easter. In some parts of the country (the civilized parts), St. Patrick's day is included.
Barbeque goes: Memorial Day, independence Day, Labor Day.

All of life revolves around these observances: So sayeth the retailers, so liveth the Americans.



And the Americans are rulers of the world.




And thank God for that.
