Since Guttenberg developed the first printing press in 1440, our forests have been shaking in terror. By 1502 newspapers were being mass produced. The first double column paper, Oxford Gazette, was born in 1653. In 1880, the first photographs appeared in the daily paper.
Amazingly, newspapers survived the advent of radio and television chiefly because of print advertising. Baby Boomers will surely recall the daily newspaper delivery "boy" bringing the paper and collecting his fee weekly. It was a growing up ritual job for many to haul a heavy bag of papers around the neighborhood. (Mark bears a scar from his delivery boy years ... a hernia!)
Me? I begin my day with Facebook updates followed by then CBS Morning News program. Holding a newspaper is a pain in the neck. Quite literally. LOL
There are plenty of apps online for instant news ...
plus amazing videos that accompany many stories ...
Aw, how sweet!!!
It's a rainy afternoon so a great time for working on Mag-Pies Glitter items. Our plan included grocery shopping for our upcoming Tampa RV trip and loading. Well, it's too rainy for that. Haha. Randy had the same type of day planned!
It's also Sue & Wayne's 41st Anniversary. It was a "cold day in hell" LOL when they married. Hey, I'm not joking!!! It was 30° below zero in Winnipeg. I rest my case. Haha. Happy Anniversary to a wonderful couple!
Well, we found a break in the rain and went grocery shopping. Everything is now stowed away in the RV and ready for the fun trip!
It's a perfect night to stay in and watch football. Yuck. LOL. Oh well. It's nearly done for the season.
Hope your Monday was anything but mundane. Ta ta.
