I haven’t stayed current on it, but last month NPR had a long story about a canned pumpkin shortage this season.

I see there are quite a few stories at google about it — I know I read somewhere online that in some parts of the U.S. that it was very difficult to find any canned pumpkin, but not so, where I am.

So I picked up a couple cans of each different brand available here — usually I wait until the post-holiday sales to buy clearance-priced canned pumpkin, but I don’t know if there will be much leftover canned pumpkin this year, so I decided to pay full price, NOW, just in case.

About three years ago I couldn’t find any canned pumpkin here. That was the same year I couldn’t find candy corn, either. Don’t know how those two relate but there it is.

LOL, and you did your bit to make sure there was a shortage...

Remember when Johnny Carson used a one line joke about a coming shortage of toilet paper and people stocked up for real?

You have more patience than me if you can listen to that for very long.
