Last week my wife asked me to pick up a print version of the Sunday paper because she wanted the ads. I took a paper to the cashier and almost feinted when it rung up at four dollars. I asked the cashier if that was right and then I looked at the masthead and saw it was. No wonder the printed newspapers are losing circulation between raising prices and curtailing their delivery routes. I have become a happy digital subscriber.

I'm also a digital subscriber for the paper up north.....but, it's not the same as having newsprint in my hands. I enjoy sitting at the counter for breakfast, or on the lanai or under a tree and reading The Sun. My question, I assume you told your wife, by decree, there was no way she was getting the ads? Of course I assume you could have visited your neighbors and get theirs before it gets recycled.
