Not necessarily--as little as 20 years ago, I subscribed to the afternoon paper. There was such a thing as TWO newspapers a day...
You so young, chile.

My gran got the morning edition because she liked to read the paper over breakfast after everybody left for the day. We got the afternoon edition because it had the overnight sports scores. Because if they were too late to make it onto the sports segment of the 10 o'clock news, that was the only way to find out those things, bitd.....
And while I admire ES' industriousness, take it from a fellow flinger, much easier to porch that bad boy if you're throwing across the body. Otherwise you're just going to end up with some bad rotator cuff mojo......

Well, I never delivered newspapers, though I did deliver phone books one year. They tend to weigh you down when you're being chased through the yard by a mean dog.....
