My sister-in-law Kayla has a small booklet entitled “Rants.” When things irritate or upset her, she gets out her pen and puts her irritation down on paper.
So here is mine for today. I am in Chico, California, approximately 3000 miles from Manhattan. Today I drove down to the Barnes and Noble store and picked up the New York Times. The store had multiple copies.
Meanwhile, back in Carbon County, Pennsylvania, 90 miles from Manhattan and full of transplanted New Yorkers, I can’t buy a single goddam copy of the Times. Not in Palmerton, not in Lehighton, not even in Jim Thorpe, a tourist mecca. What the hell is wrong with the people who distribute the New York Times? Why can’t at least one outlet be available? This is so irritating.
