[QUOTE="Logan52, post: 1784004, member: 32879"] Yeah, the local weekly newspaper is not what is once was. Now the front page above the fold is filled with mug shots of all the latest drug arrests, leaving little room for news if there was any. It used to be the highlight of my Mom's week when she caught up on all the latest gossip; but now facebook has taken that place. Advertising has dried up and the legal notices on the back page pay the bills for the paper. I remember back in the late 1970s when a bunch of friends worked a friends herd of cattle on a back forty kind of place. We had a big campfire and celebration afterwards as it got dark. I distinctly remember the conversation. It was how the wonderful place we had been lucky to grow up in was slipping away, never to come back. Those words were prophetic and I have watched them unfold. [/QUOTE]
