Mike Lamb Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Atop the vermiculite insulation were several 1956 newspapers. "15 years after Pearl Harbor." If I were not working I would have hung around the attic and read them. Click to Enlarge 78.16 KB Click to Enlarge 82.73 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hausdok Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 Speaking of newspapers, is everyone still reading them? My wife pointed out to me the other day that we spend nearly $400 a year to get the newspaper. I was flabbergasted. Guess I didn't realize the price had gone up so much. I stack them in the throne room for reading. Front page stories, then the funnies and then the jumble. Once I finish the jumble, that, along with the two pounds of ad inserts, the finance section, sports section, jobs section, advertising and entertainment sections all get tossed into the recycling unread. Think I'm going to start doing my front page, funnies and jumble online and save myself that $400 plus the irritation of hearing that nitwit who delivers the paper squeal rubber every morning around 4:30 a.m. as he pulls out of the drive.

kurt Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 Not me. I went paperless several years ago....all digital all the time. Better yet, avoid daily news in general. The racket is deafening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Morrison Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 Keep this thread going about not reading newspapers and I'm going to write an article about how cranky-ass home inspectors are obsolete. Heh, heh, heh. Happy Xmas y'all, Jimmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 Actually, I do read a single paper. It's the local Evanston Roundtable. It's real news from the neighborhood around me. That's different than daily double doses of the NYT, USN&WR, Fox, or whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hausdok Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 Cousin Jimmy! Sorry. You need to take over the BG's electronic version. Tell 'em you're a computer geek in disguise and then throw a bunch of computereze at them. The pointy-haired bosses won't know what the hell you are talking about and then they'll automatically make you the Editor of the electronic version and you can find a geeky Dilbert type to do the technical stuff for you and get your hair pointed up as the new boss. Win, win all around. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lamb Posted December 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 Chicago Trib is $256/yr for everyday. I think online it's $1/wk. We will go digital in Feb. Sigh. That said, I like real newspapers and real books. I love my library as small as it is and newspaper also comes in handy as utility scrap, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted December 25, 2014 Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 I said the same thing until about a year ago when I went Kindle. I fell hard and fast. Any book, anytime, anywhere. Highlighting options allow one to create, literally, their own little Cliff's Notes, available online. I still buy a few paper books, but only a few.

Tom Raymond Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Most online readers suck. I don't need to see a virtual page flip, I need a font size and page layout that fits my screen. You would think publishers would have figured that out by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
