I'm still recovering from a baaad case of bronchitis that has had me down for the count for over the week; two doc-in-a-box visits and a Sunday visit to the ER later, and I'm starting to recover from the crud I came down with on Halloween night. I'm slated to come off the IR on Thursday if all goes well.
I was thumbing through a Meijer flier for this week and I was reminded of the high holy day coming up in Michigan; November 15. That's the start of firearm deer hunting season, where lots of folks head north for a bit of hunting and a lot of male bonding. It's a non-trivial part of Michigan folk culture, such that seeing Flint-centric Michael Moore as an NRA member isn't shocking; a blue-collar UAW guy is more likely to be a hunter than a Brady Campaign backer.
They had a corner of this week's page three as "Deer Camp Must Haves": Mayo, pancakes, jerky (Sasquatch to tease sold separately) and peanuts. They left off the beer, however. They also may have forgotten that the rest of their domain might not be on the same schedule; that's a bit of a headscratcher for a Kentuckian who doesn't know Meijer's Michigan base.
At least it falls on a Sunday so absenteeism won't be as bad... at work; expect to see a lot of pickups heading north on I-75 Friday night packing hunting gear. However, there will be a lot of churches that will be short quite a few of their menfolk this Sunday.
