'The News from Lake Wobegon'

You don't need to feel guilty in winter since we are already doing penance. We don't believe in self improvement in LW. Were there enslaved and rejected Masons in addition to the F & AM? 14-year old GK writes a poor answer to an exam question about laissez faire economics. Perhaps he is really headed for Atlanta and a low grade job. Rolly keeps getting statues of chickens for Christmas. Story of Florian Krepsbach leaving Myrtle at a truck stop. Florian found $7000 cash in the tool box of an old plow that he bought at an auction of the effects of Mr. Nordby, a NBF. He doesn't know how to declare his find. He thinks about buying a painting of a winter scene. Then he put the envelope of money in the trunk of his and he lost it. Mr. Walters found the envelope. We are mammals and the world is trying to kill us and our duty is to survive. Florian said to Mr. Walters, "Nothing is so expensive as what we get for free."
