So sad but true.

As far as cropping and resizing, or just reading a copy and paste, I’m on the fence.

I’m 68 and remember when there wasn’t an internet. Reading a page from a newspaper seems to bring it home to me mentally. I KNOW that a human wrote that, and that a newspaper thought it worthy of being inked and applied to news paper. And then distributed in batches tied together with twine, and delivered to news stands and boxes on street corners and on front porches.

Either way, we get the news. One sometimes seems more real.
