We’re Going Hunting
By Sean O'Hara
It’s getting to be that time of year again: Summer is ending and the change of seasonal items at the big box stores is going to happen any time now. Just today I stood under the ceiling fans at the local big box and saw little yellow tags that were marked with that glorious word, the one that will bring about the coming of the next seasonal spending orgy: “clearance.”
