The other day our paper was laying in the middle of the road. Others were in the driveway so wondering if the delivery guy decided suddenly to speed up his route,

Have noticed content is almost zero, used to take about 20 minutes to read now less than 10.

If we do not see improvement in the paper after this is over we will become a former customer.

Exactly, just what I was thinking!

Not the DS fault. Blame it on the delivery person. Rain or shine mine is on the driveway by 4:00 a.m. every single day for 17 years.

Mailbox at the postal stations.

Really, all you have to do it complain that YOUR paper did not arrive.....dozens of calls as well.... how sad..

Not really much being reported. I may cancel if this keeps up.

:ho:Let us know ..... we can start a go-fund-me page for them. :1rotfl:

No problem and in 20 years I’m 5 different homes in the villages , I’ve maybe had 3 or 4 wet papers and the few times it’s been missing a very quick call and they have been out with replacement, sorry for your problem but it does seem out of character for the daily sun

:confused: What is "out of character" is a Thread like this from the OP. I have always found him to be one of the nicest guys on the site..... let's give him a little slack too. :)

Some like to “kill the messenger” on TOTV. :bigbow:

Ain't that the truth!

It sounds like the problem is with the delivery person. I've never had any of the problems you're describing. Maybe if enough people on your route complain, they'll get someone new to deliver.

That was a bit of a shock, but you're right. Stress abound.

Maybe the people delivering the paper are sick due to virus, who knows why, but missing one day to me is not a big deal.

58 Posts and counting about ONE wet 17c/50c newspaper when this is happening around us. LOL.

I think we all develop a kind of routine in these times to maintain sanity. Absence of OP’s newspaper disrupted that routine.

The newspaper issue is just a symptom of a greater sense of loss we all feel. OP is a very reasonable poster as most are. He needed to vent, we all do, and is entitled to do so. No snarkiest or arrogance. He just gave the facts with a smidge of frustration thrown in.

Let’s all give each other a break. Namaste.
