An open letter to Target, who needs to stock rain boots in March in Seattle.
You have lost a goodly handful of cash, and much of my business, due to being so astoundingly, colossally stupid as to fail to stock kids' rain boots this time of year in Seattle. You currently have flip-flop sandals and swimsuits all over the clothing department, but nary a rain boot to be found. Sirs and madams, this is the Pacific Northwest. Puddle Land. Drizzle Country. We *might* be planning our summer wardrobe this time of year, but it is beyond question that we need rain boots every month of the year except July and August. And often even then. If you do not stock kids' rain boots in early March in Seattle, when and where do you consider it worthwhile to (expletives deleted) stock them?

Ha! Bloom County! Had to look it up, but I should've known.
Also, these kids need to stay off my lawn.
Ah yes. I've discovered that at Target one must wait until it is 90+ degrees outside to buy a winter coat, and swimsuits are only available when snow is on the ground.
Exactly. I mean, just wtf.
