[net.wobegon] Wobegon Gossip

    I just got my spring 1984 "Wireless" catalog of PHC stuff.  It's
about the same as the last one.  I bought the four tapes of "News from
Lake Wobegon" in the butter-box.  I'd heard most of the reports before,
but they are timeless as ever.  I also bought the Greg Brown album
"The Iowa Waltz".  The content is great, but the recording quality
is lousy.  Be forewarned.

    I've only been visiting Wobegon a couple of years, and I'm still
not clear on a couple of thing:  The bad blood between the Krebsbocks
and the Tollerudes, didn't that start over some land deal?  What
is the relation between Pastor Inquivst (you remember, "wrong-way
Inquivst"?) and old Yalmer Inquivst: the president of First Inquivst
State Bank.  I know Yalmer must be well-off as he's the only man in town
with a real brick house.  Since the Inquivsts are well-to-do, what made
one of them become a Lutherian pastor, especially in Wobegon?  Or is
this one of those things people just don't talk too much about?

                See you at the Fearmonger's Shoppe,
