The benefits of a Tribune subscription have taken a giant leap forward with the "E" Edition

Now you're talking Colt 74 . Remember the good old days of the 32 Funny Car spectaculars at Irwindale . All that and In and Out burgers . I would get dropped off when the gates opened and picked up when they closed by my parents.

1. Folding Sundays sucked
2. Throw aways ( for non subscribers ) sucked
3. Porches sucked ( and not 1 tipped )
4. Having 4 Apartment complexes sucked. They moved out so YOU got stuck paying THEIR bill out of YOUR money.
But I got to win some cool prizes. BEST was Irwindale Raceway and meeting Mickey Thompson, Don the Snake, Tom the Mongoose, and getting to sit in The Hawaiian and Gas Ronda.

I hated folding on rainy days, especially trying to get those big a$$ Sunday papers in those little flimsy bags. I especially loved doing month end collections door to door as a young kid, that blew.

I did too. I remember when the Tribune delivered in the afternoon during the week and the mornings on the weekend. I use to come home from school, papers were there and I got them delivered inside of 45 minutes -- not a bad part-time job for a 12-year-old. On the weekends I threw it from the back of my dad's truck. That's kind of funny, our whole soccer team practically got to soccer practice and back home in the back of that truck. You could even sit on the wheel well back then. If anyone tried that today, they would probably be arrested for child endangerment. But back then, that's how it was.

This long time loyal subscriber still prefers walking down the driveway, pouring a cup of joe and reading my trib front to back before I ever turn on the computer. Some old school traditions shall never change in my book but I guess it's good for those "non-subscribers." Hell, I delivered the trib on my bitchen JMC bike back in 80-81, I think I'm do for a discount FJR.

This is awesome
