Valentine's Day—-Really?

Still working on Christmas cards and thank-you notes, I cast a jaundiced eye on the Valentine's display at a San Jose Safeway.

And if you really do care about your customers' welfare, please don't have them buy for their true love what will be a 46+-day-old box of candy when February 14th arrives.
