>>PS: As a west coast kind of person, I am sure you will be delighted to know it is snowing like crazy here <g>. (Yes, I recall you are from the northeast -- MA? -- originally). 5-7 inches is the forecast in the northwest suburbs, where I live, and it looks like it's on track. March 28! I just let the dogs out in the back yard and they seemed a little confused.

60 minutes did a story on the loss of the newspapers. It is tragic because most online news sources just regurgitate the stuff from many newspapers and television news feeds. The newspapers spend the $ to do the research, do the followup calls, make sure the information is valid, etc. Most online sources just paraphrase what was already done. Local news may be the next to go. The sad thing is that those who only ever got their news online, won't even know what they are missing.
