Do not buy the newspaper from Borders when the need for newsprint strikes - go to the 7-11 down the road. Why? ‘Cause when I go to the 7-11 I know I’ll be buying the whole newspaper and the section I actually need will be included with it. I’d forgotten that the customers in the Borders cafe are uncooth and have a habit of randomly removing sections from the papers, putting the rest back on the shelf, and walking off with just the pages they want. I’ve watched it happen. I really should have known better.

As an aside, it’s hard to retain any faith in the world at large when people are too cheap to pay 35 freakin’ cents for a paper they are going to use, abuse, and cannibalize.
