Five months without seeing an American newspaper and I received two in one day! I was so ecstatic that I actually ASKED to have my photo taken with my bounty. An FBI plane was scheduled to arrive on Monday, and the pilot asked in advance if there were anything he could bring to the air traffic controllers. Vince told him that the two things most requested here by the staff are: Krispy Kreme donuts and newspapers. So, the pilot (whose real mission was to fly here some DVs -- Distinguished Visitors) was kind enough to fill both requests prior to the flight, and Vince brought home the papers.
While I check the news (such as it is) on-line every day, I am old enough to still appreciate the feel of newsprint in my hands. And, I savored every moment Monday evening rustling through the newspapers!

Sounds great!
I have to ask....did the doughnuts make it okay?
Well, the pilot was unable to get Krispy Kremes so he picked up a box of Hostess! It was the thought that counts!
Here is try #4. Let's see if I am smart enough to do it.
