The first major storm blew in Saturday. Clint B. settled down to watch a TV show that Irene used to like. People break the ten commandments, interrupted by commercials. He looked out the window as snow fell out of the black sky. Nature is putting the lid on meanness and riff raff. At 30 below, anyone you meet is your friend. Clint remembered a major snowstorm 12 years ago. 5 people from Chicago were stranded by the blizzard. They stayed for 3 nights and became friends. Pastor Inqvist and his daughter knocked. They were looking for Val Tolefsen's dog. Rick, the TV dog, is an Irish Setter who watches TV, eats garbage and climbs into bed with people. Val sits in the center row and take notes on the sermon. After the sermon on kindness to the helpless, he told Pastor Inqvist that Rick needed a new home or he would have to be put down. Now Rick climbs up on Pastor I's bed with breath smelling of garbage. Pastor I called on Clarence Bunsen and found Clarence watching a TV porn show. At the Anderson's, Ella was working on a puzzle and Henry was watching the porn station. He stopped at a few more houses that were watching TV or drinking. Senator K was turning in early. Laura left early when Senator K talked about marriage. Rick was behind the Side Track. Pastor I dropped Rick off at Val's house. Rick smelled like muskrats. Pastor told his daughter that Rick had more in common with Val. She asked Pastor to tell her a story.
