A few years ago, Minnesota DOT made a new section of highway that straightened out some curves. The old section was plowed up to basically a dirt road. Young person comes driving along blindly following his GPS and follows the old road right into the mud. Seems like MNDOT hadn’t notified the proper mapping companies that the road had been changed. True story told to me by the tow truck driver who got the job to pull them out of the mud. He asked the driver “Why would you leave a perfectly good paved highway to drive off into the mud?” Driver said “Well that’s what the GPS said to do.”
My hometown newspaper had a morning and afternoon edition. Great reporting staff. I always liked the afternoon edition because it had some news of events that happened during the day. Where I’ve lived the past 27 years, they also had an AM and PM paper. Then the afternoon one ceased. After a while, I went to a Sunday only subscription, since there was hardly any real news in the daily, mostly advertising. What news it had was always a day or two after what I had seen online. When they raised the subscription price for Sunday only to over $45 a month, I said forget it. I’m not going to pay more than $10 for a paper with hardly any real reporting that’s mostly advertising and reprinted stories from Gannet.
Yeah, when we only had 4 channels & they all signed off at midnight.
