'The News from Lake Wobegon'

Bud's radiator. Cold in the mailroom. / The first snow fell and it turned bitterly cold. Boys wore scarves on their way to school. It caught a lot of people by surprise. Bud forgot to put antifreeze in his pickup truck and the snap froze the radiator. He was looking at a major embarrassment. Bud has developed a reputation for technical competence. Bud had to borrow Carl's so that he go to Little Falls to buy a radiator. He decided to say that he to get a camphor bit. He called Mayor Bunsen and said that he would take the afternoon off. Carl told him to stop and get some radiator hoses. Two men had the same secret. The Inkvuists are having trouble with their antique furnace. Judy wants to go the ministerial conference in the Virgin Islands. Finally the building committee came to the parsonage on a fact-finding tour. David said that the furnace gets discouraged by cold weather. Val said that there was money in the overseas missionary budget. Pastor Inkvuist was trying to hide Judy's pink underwear. It was so cold at the Post Office that Mr. Bowser did not bother to sort the mail. Everyone is looking over other people's mail. Mr. Berge had a letter from a lawyer in Houston, TX. Was it a legacy? Maybe he'd committed a heinous crime. Mr. Bowser offers people coffee. GK wonders if Mr. Bowser has been reading his love letters. Judy I is dreaming about the minister's conference.
