People can talk all they want about the death of newspapers, but they certainly haven't been at one to witness what happens when the paper is delivered late, as ours was this morning. Crashed the phone system as hungry readers wanted their morning fix.
We apologize for the late delivery.
P.S. Me and Andy Rooney. Can't beat it.

Our newspaper is delivered on such a timely basis that I did not even bother to call. I knew that if our paper was not out there, something bad had happened. Pardon me, John, but thank goodness it was just you all downtown and not our delivery person!

Chalk me up as one of the faithful, yeah. As I make my way through a minefield of front yard doggy-doo each am and scoop up that bundle of joy, I know I'm getting unbiased, in-depth, hard-hitting, critically thought-out, strong work, especially in regards to G-Boro city gov't and police matters.

John, you can help solve a disagreement between me and my wife.
Are the ads in the Sunday paper the same whether you have a subscription or if you buy from a stand?

I assume you mean the advertising circulars that are inserted into the paper, as opposed to the ad on, say, page A3.
No, they are not necessarily the same. Advertisers buy specific regions of our circulation area. Some buy all; others buy only a part. The paper in the box in front of your house could have (but probably doesn't) different ads than the paper delivered to your driveway. But your paper and your friend's across town most likely have different ads.
Who won the disagreement?
