'The News from Lake Wobegon'

Darlene came from her job in a licence plate factory in Minneapolis to look after her sick parents. She had seen Arlene. Half of the people in LW are sick with Swedish flu because of warm weather. The Leonards lost 8 players and played substitutes at the Freeport game. After losing, they were even sicker. They lurched over the train tracks and everybody threw up. The Deaners were sick and the kids ran loose. Their house was a mess. The flopped down asleep in front of the TV. She told the children to got bed. When she woke they had left the door open. It was 40 in the house and dogs were in the kitchen. Fr. Wilmer was sick so Fr. Emil gave out the ashes on Ash Wednesday. Adam and Eve ate the apple in paradise. Arlene visited the Chatterbox. She decided that her marriage went wrong when she made a chicken dish with 8 whole garlics
