Get this: For the last five days, the Palm Beach Putz "newspaper" has not been delivered. I only get it for the Cryptogram, Cryptoquip, and Celebrity Cipher. Herself gets if for the crossword puzzles.
Getting past the automatic "piss off or wait for nobody to answer" Maginot Line to get to the shipping dept was a job for someone with otherworldly powers. Fortunately, I have just such a person.
Herself took about two hours on the line and finally got a human bean... who said, "The problem is being escalated."
Dunno how many of y'all are married to Scottish Witches, but those who are lucky enuf know right off the above answer will not fly with them.
Silly barstards got Herself to just tell them to stop delivering forever and ever, Amen.
The convenience of pre-printed cryptograms is the ONLY reason for me to have that DS commie rag delivered. Oh. Back when they DID deliver, the front page section with its lies and pro-antifa, pro-everything bad never got in the Chateau anyway. Always tore it up and put it in the recycle bin.
Comics only on weekends. Well, that's gone, too.

Well, don't that beat the bugs a-humpin'! Can you believe this? Un-fargin-believable.
Seems that in the time (it is now 5:30AM) it took me to type the above, the idjits just delivered...
...wait for it...
...SUNDAY's PAPER!! On Tuesday morn-ding! What a fargin train wreck.
I know what has happened: Delivery in rural areas require sumbody who needs some money -- to do it. NOBODY needs money if Xiden Bucks are available. So the delivery peeps don't have to (and therefore won't) work. Wotta susprise.
BUT! The Sunday paper has perhaps 50 or more advert sheets <-- With them, "No delivery, no payee" from the advertisers with the inserts. So they "deliver". Just a few days late. <-- That will greatly please and satisfy the advertisers who paid their printers for the ad copies to insert. NOT.
This is no time to own stock in a DS/Communist newspaper somewhat to the left of Das Kapital.
