'The News from Lake Wobegon'

Pastor Inkvuist and Judy flew to the Lutheran ministers retreat in St. Petersburg, FL. They lay around the pool side and imagined their neighbors in parkas walking heads down in the wind chill of minus 37. The impeachment process has been a long trip down the rabbit hole. It reminds LW people of blowing up cow pies with M-80 firecrackers as kids. Some time you didn't run far enough. The senators aren't as fast as they think. Pastor Sorensen, the replacement, flew in his Cessna and landed in Hedlund's pasture.. Roger Hedlund recognized him as the Messenger of Death, a TV wrestler. The word got out and the church was packed. Clint Bunsen asked him to drop brother Bob Bunsen's ashes from the plane as he flew over the Bunsen farm. The ashes blew back into the plane so he came back and landed at Roger's farm. They vacuumed him off. Pastor and Judy had a second drink around the pool.
