and here i just cancelled my last lingering newspaper subscription. go ahead, try to make me feel guilty! but it had ceased to carry local news, instead just printing feeds from the services. no, i take that back, it still had a multi-page sports section, and with the advent of football season it did start obsessing on local teams. but when it cut Dear Abby and most of the comics, well… that was the final blow. sayonara local so-called newspaper.
