On Easter Sunday, while walking across my lot, checking on how the winter snow was finally disappearing, I noticed a plastic bag with a newspaper inside. When I opened it, I found that it was my newspaper delivered Jan. 27.
It was in perfect condition, even dry and completely readable. I noticed the headline on the front page said we were getting ready for a storm. Well, as you know, we got the storm, and the snow lasted until Easter Sunday.
Of course I never reported that I did not get a paper that day of the blizzard, nor did I think it possible that anyone could deliver a paper here, because this house was just about inaccessible.
But my deliverer somehow got through in the early part of the storm, and the paper got blown around and buried and stayed intact for over two months.
