But seriously.

Every single time I want to email an interesting article about the things that would attract friends/relatives to coming to experience TV and possibly rent/buy a place, the article I want to send is totally surrounded by the scum of the earth disgusting mug shots, poisonously partisan letters and columns, and sensationalizing NewsMax headlines. This is the case right now with a wonderful account of the Johnny Mathis concert. It it surrounded by utter trash.

The paper has all the trappings of a tabloid rag and I'm embarrassed to send the article links to friends around the country, because of the trash that would seem to characterize TV as something it is not. I've contacted the paper before about this, but they seem to like it this way.

Whenever I see a villager getting caught for shoplifting I wonder how many get away with shoplifting and how many are deterred because everyone will see their picture.

The rest of us know right from wrong.

Take a look at this from NPR Of Counsel: Unique Sentence for First-Time Shoplifters - Florida Trend

Helllooo Jerry! Remember Uncle Leo stealing books. My kids laugh like hell they call The Villages, Del Boca Vista where Jerry's parents lived. They also claim I steal batteries like his parents. I don't want my picture in that paper unless I got arrested for defending my family or a friend. :jester:

When I told my kids I live off of Buena Vista they started calling it Del Buena Vista. They're pretty comfortable teasing me too. I'm chairman of a neighborhood group and that just gives them more to tease me about.

Our local daily paper is about the size of an eight and 0.5 x 11 sheet of paper. It's a dollar 50 per day and they charge you to read it online. Where else can you get a daily paper the size of the Daily Sun with all the features it has for $.18 a day. I would venture to say nowhere. Our local paper in the villages may not be perfect but it provides news, information, coupons, and informative special features. Besides there are so many other sources for news and information today. I get my national news from the Internet and I'm sure most others do the same.
