Making A Silk Purse Out Of A Sow's Ear
I have refused to subscribe to the Minneapolis Star Tribune (or as I like to call it, the "Star and Sickle") since I moved back into the Twin Cities area in 1998. The reason was the same as reader Jim gave below. It was quite simply a heart attack waiting to happen.
However, I am now beginning to regret my decision. The lovely Atomizerette and I have just bought a house and I am now in the midst of packing up my belongings. As I prepared to get the kitchen stuff properly packed away the other day I realized that I had no stack of old newspapers, which have always been my preferred method of protecting my fragile glassware.
Perhaps I'll just use toilet paper. That sounds like an appropriate substitute.
