Hey, Uncle Warren's got cancer. And a family. And shit. Meany Snippy!

Sad for a New Orleanian newspaper over like Znippy.

The Times-Picayune is the second domino - Detroit was first - of the big city daily papers. They will crash with increasing frequency.

Snippy mourns.

Cy mourns, too, as a lifetime newspaper reader. Detroit paper went a couple of years ago, paper out in Uketown went awhile back, still has a 'net site, one of the papers in TQCOTW folded maybe five years ago, old morning paper in Cy's near-hometown went a long time ago now, there's a whole list and it's nothing but a deathwatch.

The daily newspaper or "your news" for the day is lacking in
about every way you can think of for the "first section" of
the newspaper. "The first section" is the news that is transcribed
in a way for you "to understand it" and not cause any alarm.
I read it to see what "they" have to say. After that the "Local"
section with the obits. Amazing to see the old rails I worked
with in this area in the obits. Only people I know in this area.
I still get a newspaper at my house daily. Need something to
start a fire. You might find this interesting. Several years back
every daily newspaper went to "slim" proportions meaning almost
a "square" newspaper. I still cant figger out how to stack them in
my designated area for newspapers. Do know that during the
summer months that I need to continue to save the newspapers
as I've noticed with the "smaller newspaper" on a daily basis,
that it takes more "issues" to get a fire going. Got to have paper
to get a fire going...in my world.
