Target

Dear Target, I love your store and merchandise but I do have a bone to pick with you. I was quite dismayed to receive a back to school catalog on a date(around July 14th or so) that was actually closer to the end of school than the beginning. I appreciate that Target is a business and does make an effort to give back to the community but why not try in a less obvious way. For instance, why not slow down and be more respectful of the community's calendar-people don't usually start their back to school shopping until a week or two before school starts, they also don't usually buy snow boots until it actually gets cold out. This constant hectoring by retail to shop for the upcoming season futher and further in advance does not lend itself to the creation of a happy community. It just makes us hyperaware of the passage of time rather than giving us the space to enjoy the moment. Thank you for your time, (the letter writing crank)
