Saturday is a sacred day here in Wisconsin...

Also Michigan.

Deer hunting season!

I won't be going this year, in fact I haven't in over 30 years.
But I have friends and a couple relatives who are going, and they hope to see...

Attendance is so low that they just don't bother trying.

We spend all of September and October creating "independent studies" that never get done for students taking a week off during bow season, then rifle season.

Lots of kids take a week off as long as they get their homework from their teachers. I don't think many actually do the homework.
