Welcome to Suburbia

It's been a year since we moved from Chicago to Indiana and every once in a while I get hit wtih something that reminds me of just how different things are out here in the sticks.

This example comes from my recent weekend trip to Menards. As I was walking through there looking for a lightbulb I passed a promotion area near the front of the store. What were they promoting? Camouflage screens for hunting. I guess that hunters with their high-powered rifles and scopes don't have enough of an advantage over those sneaky deer.

I bet if they sold something similar in Chicago these screens would look like a dumpster or an abandoned car.
