Bernie sucked. I'm glad he's become just an internet meme wearing funny gloves.

As much as I would like to give him shit too, he really has not been out of line in his new role from what I have seen. Yet anyways. Keeping your shit together for a couple hundred days enough to fly under the radar of crazy is not necessarily a high bar.

They sucked. The papers were so much bigger. An extra sports section, lifestyle, comics, business, etc... If I remember correctly they would drop bundles off curbside along your route on Sundays so you didn't have to keep riding back for more papers and everyone would have it delivered by the time they woke up and had their morning cup of coffee. Back then it was Yuban, Hills Brothers, or Folgers. Some people were drinking decaffeinated instant Sanka. There was no gourmet coffee in America back then.

I had an afternoon and a weekend route for a couple years when i was a kid. San Jose Mercury News.

What was worse than a sunday paper? How about a rainy sunday morning :-(
True story. My brother had a different route. Him and his friend shit in one of his asshole customers paper, and into a plastic bag it went onto the guys doorstep one rainy sunday morning. Lmao.

my brother had 'the route' and sometimes helped him with when he had baseball games. stopped in at the liquor store for a Coke (a big deal because Catholics) and on the way up the hill passing train tracks and laying pennies on the tracks to flatten; i was always afraid the trains would derail.

What was the deal with Coke and Catholics?
I grew up Catholic and never knew there was a problem.

You must have gone to a hard core church lol.

No. We did. An old school roman Catholic church. My mom couldn’t even receive communion because of divorce and having a kid out of wedlock. Fuck that shit. Stupid. Was kinda cool though. My mom would drop us off for CCD and Mass and split.
We would often ditch church and go hang out at the bowling alley across the street :-)

the liquor store was getting a paper so it was a good excuse to get that Coke. they're supposed to be a treat not an everyday thing.

it was 1972.
