Sunday Crossword
We still get the local paper delivered to our house. It is a small town paper that publishes 4 times a week (down from 5 from when we first got here.) Most of the national news content in there is old by the time we get the paper and some of the local news as well, but we like supporting the local businesses. It is cool to know where the for sale open Houses are and who is having a Yard Sale, although we usually will only go to them if we can walk there. Plus, I’m old school in that I like to read my comics printed on a piece of paper I can hold in my hand. Donna likes it so she can do the crossword puzzle, the Jumble and & Little Words (sometimes I get to help.)
As with most newspapers, and practically anything, you occasionally get some random weird errors. Perhaps because of times we are going through now the errors seem a bit more frequent. Reprinting the same comics pages, puzzles or articles on consecutive days, announcing events on the day after they are available and mis-aligned color printing so that every picture seems fuzzy.
<━ This past Sunday’s we got a new error. The crossword puzzle was printed already filled in! Guess who had to scan the puzzle, erase every letter (about 450) and then hand number where the answers went for her. ━>
