The Chicago Tribune is the source for Garrison Keillor's latest column, a tongue in cheek look at how the heat wave gripping the nation this week is turning Minnesota into a cartoon version of the South:
"Up here we associate heat with degeneracy. Once the temperature gets above 100
for several days in a row, you expect to see the minister canoodling with the
church secretary and getting jazzed on joy juice, and the deputy shooting the
sheriff over a hand of euchre, and the night before Jimmy Joe goes to the
gallows he learns that his daddy was not his daddy. And you expect to come to
church and see some snake-handling."
Read Well, shut my mouth if this ain't what you would call a heat wave in its entirety.
Oh, yes, and we get Garrison Keillor in the flesh at Symphony Hall on February 11.
