'The News from Lake Wobegon'

Gardens are in full bloom. People bought too many seeds in February and the great glacier of food is starting to move. God is generous and plentiful. Fresh garden tomatoes and carrots and cucumbers are the genuine article. GK learned in science that sweet corn has sex. Describing a summer meal with fresh vegetables, as good as life gets. Fresh sweet corn is better than sex. GK's old house sat on a big Jot and had a screened porch. The screens were numbered, but the numbers had to be changed. A screened porch was much better than air conditioning. GK's dad worried that the electric meter was always turning. It bothered him that a little bit of expense was leaking out of the house. People who live in air conditioned houses get a fungus that makes them stupid. Sweat saves you. Bringing old radio back is a great privilege
