I have a netbook and a Kindle. I could read any number of newspapers on either one of those. But I love to read the hard copy of the newspaper and, because I live in State College, that daily newspaper is the Centre Daily Times. It arrives with a thump at my front door and, in case I don't hear that, my two dogs raise a big ruckus to let me know that someone has thrown something at our house. One time, the paper deliverer wrapped some dog treats in the paper, but that never stopped them from barking. My husband and I compete as to who will get the paper first.
