Yes, I get it and that's an accurate summary.
.... And don't forget the daily postings of - I'd like to thank the driver of the red car that cut me of on such and such street.

It's kind of amazing what paper delivery has become.

When I was a paperboy we delivered it inside the screen door or mailbox.

Throwing it in the vicinity of the house (within 50 yards) would get you fired.

There aren’t too many neighbors around here. That level of service would have the paper get here tomorrow. Yesterday’s news today is bad enough, I think.

Right? Just a bulletin board for pets. Do ever notice home many cats people take into their homes and post as "found"? If you'd left the damn cat where you "found" it, maybe it could've walked home by now!

Right.

What if you went out for a walk and every time somebody found you, they dragged you to their home, gave you milk ( I hate milk) and then ran an ad in the paper. ( I know, some people would love this).

Dammit, I'm out for a walk and looking for mice here.....

Probably why cats mainly go out at night........to get a little peace and quiet on their walk.

Cats have been known to follow a family across the country to get back to them.

Happy to assist in your continuing education, Don. And there are no tests.

Everyone gets a diploma. And you are all very special and above average. (Except for you know who.)

And Don I'm extremely happy to help you out especially after learning you are still living in the same home you bought new in 1721.

It shows you the power of Fake News when it's believed by the herd mentality and handed down as fact over a handful of generations of human beings.

A few days ago, I saw a reward of $250 offered for information that lead to the return of a local woman's lost cat. I was going to be helpful by pointing out just how many new cats $250 would buy but resisted the temptation.

Yesterday I received an email informing me of that which my empty driveway and silent dogs already told me: Henri ate my newspaper. Strange how news doesn’t do bad weather, but mail does.
