'The News from Lake Wobegon'

The weather turned colder saving our sense of reality. January is liking finding out that you are middle aged. Dawn commences at the Chatterbox Cafe and the Catholic Church. The Lord offers himself to us at Our Lady. The lights are on at Bunsen Motors. Miss Bartlett, the English teacher, is distraught that her students have no appreciation of poetry. She is locked in a prison with the children's tiny minds. Judy Inkvuist watches her daughter, Kate, comes down wearing ghastly clothing in spite of her wonderful wardrobe. Judy doesn't say what she really feels. The LW Industrial Commission met on Friday. $4000 worth of advertisements in business magazines, attracted five proposals. The company that proposes to make musical straws may catch on. Imagine if they succeed and the population of LW doubles. They voted it down four to zero.
