'The News from Lake Wobegon'

Monster snow storm on Sunday. 81 degrees on Tuesday. God is playful. Holsteins thinking of the dumb things that they've done. Mueller used to be dairy farmer, a boring business. He succeeds in the tree nursery business. Heavy well-fed people in LW. Gravy and pot roast makes you bulky. Cuisine in Minneapolis, a city of skinny, pale, nervous people. Man lost 75 pounds on a bacon and gravy diet. Came back to LW for Christmas dinner and gained it back. Went through four changes of clothing. Lyle stepped on a wood screw and had a bad day at school. Spent 2-1/2 hours in a committee meeting. Buys his wife a four-pound box of chocolates for their anniversary. Hid it in the washing machine. She did the washing the next day. Battle! She went to her mother's and the week apart saved their marriage
