The Brokenhead Ditch-wavers
We are driving out to the lake on our a day off. Dre tells us to keep our eyes peeled for the Brokenhead Ditch-wavers. The town of Brokenhead abuts an Ojibwe Reservation, and the ditchwavers are a family of locals who have taken it upon themselves to stand by the highway all day, smiling and waving at passersby. Dre tells us that she thinks that they are sort of simple-minded members of their community, but are considered a treasured, beloved institution. Ditch-waving is considered a perfectly honorable and productive use of their time.
Before too long we see a red-faced man in an orange ball cap and overalls, smiling and waving to us from a ditch by the side of the road.
