What time do you go out and get your paper?? Can’t expect dry paper if you let it sit out all morning. Double bag only protects so long.

wet newspaper
 
Wow, so important that you have to have a dry paper. Nice to have so little to worry about. Mine is dry 99.9% of the time and even when it is a little wet, time will dry it out. I guess my life is full of too many other problems. Need to rethink my life.

Yes, my paper was wet but this is the first time in a very long time that it was wet. I agree to tie a knot in it may help a lot. In CA, they would normally try to throw the paper up on the front porch but that too would slow them down. As long as it's not every day, I can live with it since the service is very good 99.9% of the time.

If they can do that, the Marlins need to sign him

There are different ways to deliver the paper, like walking… but that would cost us more and I don’t know how many would be willing to pay for it.

Mine was dry. Then again I get out there early and don't let it sit in the rain.
If a wet paper on occasion is a big problem, then you don't have any problems.

DRY...
My paper delivery person is a very good meteorologist. When The paper is double bagged I can count on it raining. My paper is usually in the driveway by 3 am. Wasn't raining this morning at that time. I like to get up early and read it with my cereal and juice.

I don't see why all the complainers about wet papers don't just stop having it delivered and go to a postal station and get their friggin paper. Probably would still complain about something.

Maybe you should pick it up when it’s delivered so Mother Nature doesn’t get it wet.

They delivered it on-time yet you didn’t bring it inside on-time.

We have lived here 9 years. Many vacation stops that have always worked just as planed. Have had one wet paper and missed us once. I think that is amazing. Call for a paper and you will have it very quickly.
