On my way to work this morning… seems early but maybe it’s just been a warm fall.

Our Christmas tree guy is a family friend. He said for the first time ever he recommends buying our tree BEFORE thanksgiving because demand has so far surpassed supply in that business. Has been increasing big time since Covid stuff, I guess people are going back to real trees instead lately.

They’ll sell out earlier than last year, which was earlier than the year before etc. And folks keep wanting bigger trees, which isn’t possible unless you started playing a financial game on returns 15-20 years ago.

Everybody at least got their peanut oil by now…?

Crap i haven’t caught up on here.

Not complaining, just an observation on the way things look from the trees. I can’t really see any forests from here, it’s the lowcountry

Boone hall is trying to recover losses from the civil war Reenactment. That was a huge loss People from north and south paid $$$$$$ to watch the event. Cancelled because of the confederate flag.
