Grunting through a rainy afternoon, the Pigs triumphed over the Goats by a score of 19-0 at Eastern Michigan University, winning the cherished Pig Bowl trophy-a slop pail. The real winners, however, were needy children of the Ann Arbor area. Some 3,000 tickets were sold for the benefit game to buy Christmas toys. The Pig Bowl was also, in a small way, a victory for reason and humor.

As we drove through those hills, the girl told us to look for a place that sold gas and merchandise and that accepted Shell credit cards. We spotted a likely place-it had a sign that said "We accept credit cards" -but as it turned out, you couldn't charge the souvenirs. We stopped and got gas and browsed around this stupid curio shop for some time, looking at the standard souvenirs and the over-priced Indian jewelry...
