A little OT but... I've done something in my past that I doubt will ever be done again. [View all]

Every day I would pick up a large bundle of printed pages and take them home where I would sit beside them, roll up the pages into bundles, wrap a rubber band about the bundle, shove them into a canvas bag and mount my bicycle with the bag slung over my shoulder.

I would the ride through three different neighborhoods doing my best to throw these rolled up pages on to the porches of those who had payed a fee to have this occur.

If I were lucky I would not get a call later in the evening telling me that the people at xyz road didn't get their paper and I needed to run one out there to them.

The news will never be quite the same as when folks waited for a fourteen year old to deliver it to them.
