The Daily Sun goes with coffee like bacon goes with eggs....or like pancakes goes with real maple syrup. It's just a great way to start the day....and it's still a great deal money wise. It's still a treat to open a paper and read the printed word. Just another optimist I guess

I would subscribe just for the Friday Wheels section.

Also, I've had my picture in the Moment of the Day twice. I must be hanging out in the right places.

Not everyone likes the columnists - Ann Coulter for example. She has a reputation as a right wing extremist and we cannot support a newspaper that features columnists such as she.

I agree. There are better conservative columnists. George Will is one. David Brooks, Krautheimer...

An added bonus, if a few days papers pile up in your driveway your neighbors will check to see if you're still alive.

Although not yet a resident of THE VILLAGES we totally enjoyed reading the Villages Daily Sun every single morning in the month of November (that we were there)......and missed it when we left.

The delivery person faithfully delivered it very early each morning to our front door. Since we are both early risers, it was perfect. At the end of the month, he left a Christmas card with his address. Once we returned back home, I wrote out a Christmas card plus included a check for his Christmas tip....that's how much we enjoyed reading it.

We didn't have to do that as it was just a one month rental home.

I wondered if we could subscribe to it, being out of state......but real life and the holidays, grandchildren, etc. took over our month of December, not to mention unpacking and catching up with household things........and the holidays.

But, can we subscribe as out of staters???? Would they deliver every day via snail mail or pile them up and send them once a week in a group of papers? Still wondering. I wouldn't mind reading them from "afar".

Did enjoy all of the human interest stories. Got the hard news from the television national news channels........

Why not go to their web site and contact them. You can either call or email. You'd have to do that eventually anyway, in order to get a subscription, mailed or otherwise.

The Daily Sun is a real bargain at about 15 cents a day. Great way to start the day is my Daily Sun, a cup of New England coffee, piece of toast, and watching the butterflies flit around the passion flower vine. It's another beautiful day in The Villages.

Oh darn, there's the doorbell. Must be those danged Gypsies again!

Don't forget the $20 tip to the delivery guy. But, yes, I see your point.

frankly, to be able to go outside at 6am and find the paper there for me is well worth the tip.

Wow. I don't get the paper, but coffee on the lanai is great. I think I need a passion flower vine.
