'The News from Lake Wobegon'

A pack of wild dogs killed 18 chicken, ducks and geese at Rally Hocksteder's. This is scary to the 8-year old kids who have to walk to the nearby Sunnyside school. The older kids talk about throwing you to the pack so that the rest of us can escape. GK remembers just who pushed him in the ditch and ran away. The older kids also scare the little kids by talking about their tongues getting stuck to a frozen pump handle. The LW town council met to talk about emergency preparedness. At LW high school, the principal prepared a list of "storm homes" where the children would go if a storm stopped the buses. GK's storm home was the Kruger's. They were Catholic and perhaps wanted to convert GK to Catholicism. It was very big in GK's imagination that he could always go to the Krugers if the worst happened.
