Colonel Sanders, eat your heart out!
Must have been an otherwise slow day.
This bodes well for the Packers on Sunday.

We don't talk about chicken pluckers in Fort anymore...it's the town's dirty little secret.
I just looked up Hausen in the phone book, and it appears that three members of the family still live here. I'm half tempted to call them and see if they are celebrating Ernest's accomplishment today.
