'The News from Lake Wobegon'

The first wet snow fell on Tuesday. It appears that we will have winter this year. People wait until the last minute to install their snow tires and storm windows. Lyle discovered he was out of fire wood. They need the wood burning stove because Lyle dropped the storm windows last winter. He's got new glass but he hasn't installed it yet. Carl has great big pile but Lyle didn't take his first offer. He went to his in-laws, Florian and Myrtle Krepsbach's. They were sawing and splitting firewood. Lyle helped with the splitting until he got tired. 71-year old Myrtle was out-splitting him 3 to 1. Mayor Clint Bunsen put up a new TV antenna so that Irene could watch 'For Whom the Sun Rises' on Channel 8. Clint has been fighting to get a community antenna on the water tower. Irene laid down the law when a steamy episode was due. Clint had to tune the antenna to get both Channel 7 (NFL football) and Channel 8. He hauled the TV up on the roof so he could adjust the antenna. He got engrossed in a Channel 3 TV show until Clarence yelled at him.
