On that new fangled device.

But I dropped mine when the price went out of sight. Used to have 2 Newspapers delivered, morning and night.

Occasionally Google for certain articles. For instance our local Cemetery had 171 Monuments blown over, trees uprooted. The Dayton Daily offered the news, but went straight to the source. That is the internet.

Volunteers are working to clean up debris. It hit one corner of the Cemetery. So only one Southwest area was hit.
