Average Jane Sees Signs of Fall

The grocery store sidewalks are piled with pumpkins and their aisles are stuffed with Halloween candy. Every day, my mailbox contains a couple of catalogs full of useless gift items. The radiator repair shop sports a banner that says, "Beat the rush."

And this example of extreme niche marketing is now on sale at your local grocery or liquor store:

Yes, it’s Busch beer in a special edition hunting camouflage package. You wouldn’t want the deer to spot your brewskis while you’re out in the woods. (Note: I had a better photo from my camera phone, but for some reason T-Mobile and Flickr aren’t communicating right now. Is anyone else having trouble sending photos to Flickr from their camera phone?)

    I must just be a California liberal, but I find that a bit disturbing. Drinking and shooting doesn’t seem like a smart combination.

    Kind of related, I actually drank beer out of a can for the first time in years this weekend. Reminds me of college, 15 years later.

    And as David Sedaris has brought to light, you can tell a lot about a culture by how easy it is to purchase firearms and get a hunting license. Finally, a beer for folks in tree stands!
