D and I left Northfield in the late afternoon of June 4th. Now, three months later and with another 5000 miles on the car, we've returned with Mom to deliver him, his summer stuff, and his bike back to Carleton.
We helped him get moved into his new dorm and then M and I watched the reenactment at the Return of Jesse James Days. Okay, now we've done that. We weren't all that impressed - although clearly this show is a big part of this town's history (along with the foiled bank robbery it portrays). I suspect this is the kind of thing that reinforces right wing mythology and the peculiar notion held by some 21st-century suburbanites that we would all be safer if we carried guns!
