2. The local paper here is also having money trouble. I've been getting the Sacramento Bee and

the SF Chronicle ever since i moved here and i cannot imagine starting the day without reading the newspaper.

3. As Gavin Newsom

said you can't bring the online articles to the rest room. Long Live the SF Chronicle

4. reading it online is just not the same, it's a like a morning ritual for me.

turn the coffee maker on, go out to the front porch and get the newspapers and then have 30 minutes of blissful quiet before they wake up.

6. Goodbye Seattle P-I.

When there is only one paper, the paper can slip further into mediocrity. Of course, we're left with the inferior Seattle Times, of course.
