The truth is cities like Minneapolis are grappling with the most important human problems. How to do education, public health, church, and law enforcement so it *helps* the poor? For the rich, this is annoying and inconvenient. But it is also enormously interesting and beautiful. https://twitter.com/CollegeFix/status/1385092776639942658">https://twitter.com/CollegeFi...

- This week the world watched as Derek Chauvin was convicted by a jury. I shared original Facebook video the day after it happened. We marched with pastors.
- The U.S. remembered Walter Mondale who ran with a woman VP candidate in 1984. The Scout troop met with him last year.

- My 5th and 7th grader had ultimate frisbee practice at a park with a homeless encampment all summer.
- My other son and I ran around the lake tonight where there used to be an encampment.
- My son is at a Twins game with a Minneapolis firefighter.
- Minneapolis is interesting.

- Teen boys and girls from the neighborhood bike to work at the local Ace Hardware.
- The Lake Harriet bandshell has a concert every single night all summer. My kids have also done sailing classes there and all my kids meet their friends there to swim at the two beaches.

- We have had powerful moments of learning at George Floyd Square.
- Our kids sometimes lose badly to teams from other parts of the city in soccer and basketball.
- Few are leaving the city. House prices are skyrocketing. If they do, they will miss some stimulating experiences.
