'The News from Lake Wobegon'

Harold Star had nothing for the front page of LW Herald Star. GK told the tomato butt story very truthfully. Finding the big rotten one. The windup. Mother's command. Sister demanded justice. Mother intervened. GK stole $5.00 from the kitchen table and bought a hamburger. Father arrived before he ate the hamburger. He can still see the hamburger. Going into the linen closet and taking 20 sheets and tying them together like Gene Autry. The Coleman survey of 1866 left LW off the map. The river St. Croix is miles off. Four teams started from the four comers of the state. The team from the SW got lost in St. Paul and ended up naming streets. They showed more Minnesota than there really was so they eliminated Mist County. GK regrets kicking Grandma's goose. It never came back.
