Life just makes no sense. My uncle was complaining that his wife got
the paper but never read it, she just wanted the weekly ads. He kept
trying to convince her to drop the subscription. She wouldn't do it
(she's pretty stubborn). In that town, if you don't subscribe, you
still get the paper with all the ads once a week, but the paper is
considerably abbreviated. But every time we went over there, my uncle
was always talking about articles that were in the paper (and sometimes
sharing them with us).
