Old Man Jenkins don't take too kindly to my type round these parts, and he would often tell me real angry-like that I weren't welcome in his shop.  So when I showed up with an Innistrad pre-release podcast, I was surprised to hear him tell me to get myself into his store and listen on his transistor radio.  It was raining outside, the cool rain that announces fall is just around the corner.  Old Man Jenkins didn't seem to mind much, but he did tell me the rain hurt his knees something fierce.  He drank coffee and listened until the podcast was over, then told me to get home before my mama got to wondering where I was.  Before I left, he asked me what I thought of this whole mess.  I told him I reckoned it was Pauper to the People.
