Worst Case Scenario


'The News from Lake Wobegon'

Senator K. Torvaldsen flew home from Ft. Myers on a terrible flight. Karin lnqvuist drove him to LW. She was going home to borrow money from her father to buy a house. She asked Senator K about the lady from Maine. He said that when he was young he thought about marrying but never asked anyone. Now he asked her and she replied that she'd think about it. Karin is a stocky woman with a great gift of teaching. She teaches philosophy at the College of Saint Mavis. As a young girl, she rebelled against LW and even drove a VW. GK's grandfather was a failure who owned five acres of downtown Minneapolis and sold it cheap to Mr. Dayton. Grandfather was so incompetent that he went to the Colorado legislature. He came back with saddlebags filled with gold dust. One day his wife was baking bread and the house burned down including the gold. GK can still see her walking away from the house. Karin applied for the $50,000 loan and filled out the application. He asked about the house. He made the loan took her to lunch.
