* Qwilleran is out exploring graves with a long-time resident of Moose County and they come across what the long-timer describes as the "ultimate his and hers" -- a husband-and-wife pairing. One grave reads "Shot by her dear husband." The other reads "Hanged for killing his dear wife."
* Lots are drawn at the ''Moose County Something'' for interviews of various political candidates for Pickaxe mayor, and Qwilleran has the bad luck of drawing George Breze. He's a local-yokel car dealer whose main platform seems to be "jobs and clean streets." In a later book, Breze is dubbed "Old Gallbladder" and it's revealed that he only got two votes.

-->'''Arch''': Don't go fastidious on me. Just write a folksy piece about an interesting guy who wears old clothes around the house, takes his shoes off, keeps cats and dogs, eats weiners for lunch. You know how to do it.
-->'''Qwill''': I don't like it.
-->'''Arch''': I'm not asking you to lie. Just be selective, that's all. Skip the part about the glass icicles and the half-million dollar lake and the visits in South America, and bear down on the turkey farm and his lovely wife and the adorable kitties.
-->'''Qwill''': I suppose that's called practical newspapering.
