Every day Linda and I drive four miles to Kresgeville to buy our New York Times at the Deli on 209. When we lived in Fairfax, CA, the paper was delivered in a blue bag every morning. No such luck in Towamensing Township.
For the past two months, the Friday papers have not been available at the Deli. Evidently there is a dispute over delivery contracts. Being the resourceful person I am, I found other outlets. The Sunoco Station on Delaware in Palmerton carries the Times, but not today. I then drove to the gas station at the Mahoning Turnpike Interchange--no Times, but they usually only receive one or two copies, so I wasn’t surprised.
That meant a trip to Dugan’s on Broadway in Jim Thorpe. They always have extra copies, but not today--no delivery. That’s it for Carbon County.
Are we at war? Did Congress pass a bill? Was the Keystone Pipeline approved?
If this happens tomorrow I’ll have to drive to New York. I need that paper.
If you like your news with a slant, try the Times News.
ReplyDeleteRoy--Hi from Napa.
Get and Ipad and read it online!
ReplyDeleteI tried to read it online, but I mess up the computer when I try to work the crossword puzzle. When I make a mistake, I get "white out" all over the screen. It is also difficult to eat toast and drink coffee while trying to read online. And how do you clip articles online. Basically, reading a newspaper online sucks. I want a NEWSPAPER, not a screen.
