I did also read the horoscope sometimes but nothing else. I discovered that
the neighbor behind me liked to read the paper and didn't care about the
coupons so I would just give it to him after I pulled the coupons out.

I currently get a neighborhood newspaper whether I want it or not. And I do
not. I did try to read it a couple of times but there is nothing of
interest to me. They do list some home robberies but mine were never
listed. The paper just sits out there and gets soggy and then I recycle it.
