'The News from Lake Wobegon'

Florian and Myrtle were going to FL but her sister called about the alligators. An Indian drove an '85 Pontiac into town and asked for directions for the road to Millet. Rumors ran through town including two big casinos. He camped on 40 acres and built a little hut. The Omahas welcomed the government agents to LW but they loved to talk. Later, the Unitarian missionaries came to LW to convert the Omahas but the process took so long that Omahas headed for Nebraska. On Tuesday, Eloise Krepsbach checked the ownership and found that the land had been sold to a hippie commune, who bought the land using Jessica's harp as loan collateral. After a 12-hour meeting, everybody left except Jessica. She loan enough from Clarence Bunsen to buy a used car. She became a star rock harpist and lost most of her hearing. Leonard Whitedirt, the Indian, cured her deafness and she gave him the 40 acres of land. Eloise Krepsbach came back to buy a scenic easement. They talked for hours before she escaped. Leonard left town that night.
