Summer officially ends tomorrow. I pick up oldest son from his 3rd summer on staff at Many Point Scout Camp. He was a First Class Adventure Director this year and had a terrific time. That's a lot of responsibility and some managing of peers. I think he learned a lot about mob mentality and how a couple good or bad influencers pull along the majority of followers.

I'll be bringing him and 2 other staff back to their families so I'm hoping for at least a few stories on the 4 hour ride home. If they all just zonk out, I'll be left to my Mountain Dew and highway noise.

At least the weathr for the past day and tomorrow is nice and dry so I won't load up wet, soggy, scouts - just smelly, dirty ones with many nights of camping under their belt.
