All Of Western New York Loves Pumpkin Spice, Except Ed, He Still Can’t Stand It

Whether we like it or not, we're stuck in a national crisis. It is a crisis of such magnitude that, usually, well-meaning people have started to lose their minds and have been doing things that no man, woman, child, or dog should ever be allowed to do.

It seems that no matter who says something, we find a way to do this, and it's simply maddening. And, of course, just when you think it couldn't get any more ridiculous, it does.

I've been praying that hopefully one day soon we'll get back to some sense of normalicy, but that doesn't seem likely and until that happens, I will be here standing alone with my flag planted.

WHY do we need things like pumpkin-spiced trash bags? I'm all for a good-quality Hefty bag, but the pumpkin spice should go IN the trash bag and not leave my house smelling like it. When, exactly, was the last time you enjoyed a nice bowl of pumpkin spice Cheerios (made here in Western New York)?

Listen, we have taken this obsession too far. If we band together as a people and just say no to pumpkin spice, we can Make America Pumpkin Spice-Free Again. Maybe winter will come early and help us regain our sanity.
