'The News from Lake Wobegon'

The killer / Miserable weather in LW. GK could tell the story about the couple from California that drove into LW and saw a tall ghoul in bib overalls with an axe and a pitch fork in the middle of the street. A highway repair detoured traffic through LW. The merchants put up signs, hoping to attract customers. Mayor Clint Bunsen sent Bud out to fix the 'Welcome to LW' sign but it broke into three pieces. One year, GK decided that he would be brilliant in physics but he really never caught on. GK was elected president of the Young People's Bible Study Group and decided to really understand the Lord's Truth. Then he got a Saturday date and he didn't work on the Paul's Epistle to Timothy. Mel prayed that GK could return to the throne of grace after his pursuit of carnal pleasure. Barb Deaner, LW's movie star came back home. She left for Sonoma in 1972. They showed her movie, The Hand Under the Bed. She played the clerk.
