Here’s a true story: One time years ago, when my parents were shopping in Cloquet, my dad got so impatient waiting for my mom to be done that he went to the car to wait. Then, he was so tired of waiting for her that he laid down in the front seat to rest. After waiting for him in the store, she looked over to where the car was and didn’t see him, so she continued to wait for him in the store. When he never came, she finally went to the car, and was she ever disgusted to find him sleeping in the front seat. My dad didn’t hear the end of that story for years.

That’s all the news from the Edge of Wright.
