Every year a lot of us buy a pumpkin then practice our carving talents for Halloween night. Have you ever wondered why we carve pumpkins and better yet why we call them Jack-O-Lanterns?
There doesn't seem to be as many places to buy pumpkins this year, and the places that have them are charging quite a bit more for them than last year. People are blaming the weather, (Hurricanes & Droughts), and the economy for the limited supply and higher prices... I think it's just part of the plot to screw consumers.
