Obviously not the numerous photos of residents' grandchildren doing cute things - I don't even know most of the residents; why would I be even remotely interested in their grandchildren? Makes life easy for the newspaper, though, if they can get other people to provide free copy.

Nor the banality that fills D2 every day - 'Bob Smith swings his pickleball bat and puts a looping return over the net. "I play for ninety minutes every day", says Bob, before returning to his game'. Fascinating stuff, reading about someone else's pickleball game.

Pages of back to school photographs of kids we don't know? No thank you.

But I do enjoy reading most of the news, and the comic page is my favorite, so I consider the price of the newspaper worth paying to have it delivered every morning.

And in case you are worried that repeat stories are raising my blood pressure, I enjoy finding them like others enjoy finding hidden words in a grid. Whatever floats your boat, eh? Long may they keep coming - and I'm sure they will.

Apparently the original post was nothing more than an exercise in Pot Stirring, since you are not really "anti-newspaper".
