First time in 5 years, no big deal. Fires in Colorado, now that's a big deal.

Correct but you can call at your leisure when things die down. The paper is very forthcoming about giving you a credit.

Mine was pretty soaked but I took it apart and laid the pages over chair backs and the kitchen counter and it dried within an hour. I put it back together and read it. No problem but I had to find something else to do during that hour.

Just one of those days when an unexpected rain got stuff wet.

Just one of those days when someone nice warned us not to call the paper because the wait was long.

Just one of those days when we can act like little children in the back seat of a car on a long road trip with no air conditioning.

We wrinklies are sure interestin'.

My paper was soaking wet this morning and weighed about 15 lbs. I went over to our postal station around 6:30 and there were 2 papers in the bin. I have had papers that were partially soaked but nothing like this. In any case we needed the rain.

I threw my paper into the trash. Just went back and read Wednesday's paper. Not sure why I get it, don't have time to read it most days. Second or third time it's been wet in 12 years. Bad record Daily Sun !!!!!!!!

Some times we all just have to vent. I guess this is one of those days for some of us.

I've got to say this is the first time in 3 years that I got a wet paper. Also my paper is always delivered in the exact same spot in my driveway every morning without fail before 5:00 AM. My newspaper boy/man/woman etc. is the best I've ever had and I can't fault them for 1 wet paper. They got suprised by that storm as we all did. I make sure that whoever delivers my paper is taken care of during Christmas season.
