Commerce is the reason for the season.

My grandson is nutty for tractors. I wandered alll over Target and could not find a tractor. Just a tractor. Lots of toys tied in with tv shows. I guess if Green Acres was a current show, there might be a tractor in a store. Didn't go to Toys R Us, could have tried harder, but geez Louise! Lots of Sponge Bob, Spider Man, on and on...I got him a garbage truck. It is pretty cool. Has the back up beep sounds.

but John Deere stores have a good selection of toy tractors, ranging from matchbox-sized to the battery-powered rideable variety.

Here's their website for online orders:

And a dealership locator:

retail sales, you would think we're in deep doo-doo.

But I'm just a lowly maintenance man/carpenter, what would I know?
