I’m a hopeless newspaper addict – have to have that
sports section to read over breakfast, even when on vacation. Consequently, I’ve
subscribed to the Washington Post
for well over 30 years, pretty much
since I moved to the area. While it still has much to offer, especially its
coverage of national politics, the years and the Internet have not been kind to
newspapers. Unfortunately there are times when the Post reminds me of an old,
dear friend with a terminal illness, who is slowly declining without you being
able to do anything about it. These entries memorialize some bloopers, blunders,
and pet peeves. I don’t go out of my way to find these – they’re just there
(mainly due to the apparent lack of attention to copy editing).
It looks like we are going to continue our subscription ltoo!. Holly (our 11 year old dog) has recovered from injuries and retrieved the paper this morning. The first time in 6 weeks. Prior her injury, she has gone to the end of our drive way every morning rain, sleet, and snow to get our paper.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear that Holly is doing better! Does she also have a favorite section of the paper? :-)
