Thank your carrier
Today is International Newspaper Carrier Day. I don't know how days are declared special in this way, and I don't know that newspaper carriers deserve one.
I do know that they do incredible work, every day -- every day -- rain or snow at a time when most of us are asleep.
Every week, I get feedback forms that people send in with their bills. Subscribers often will comment about one aspect of the paper or another, but the most common comment is how much they appreciate their carrier. I know just how they feel. My carrier never misses and is always on time, except on the days when we don't get her papers to her on time. I've even walked out to get the paper when there is six inches of snow on the grass.
I'm biased, of course. Not only do we work at the same place, I used to be a carrier myself.
