Dang, I do miss a newspaper I could trust.

Back when a Sunday newspaper cost 25 cents, today my local Sunday newspaper cost 6 dollars. I quit reading it over 5 years ago. Not even the crossword puzzles in it are worth it.

We cancelled the paper years ago. Tired of all of the biased news and half the time it wasn't even delivered.

Its weird how they outlawed the plant that had four times the yield and could grow back every year. Backwards society doing backwards things with tree's.
