About six months ago, one of those teenagers came around to win points for something if we subscribed to the newspaper. It was 20$ for either 6 months or a year, and it is the Denver Post a couple days, and the Rocky Mountain News a couple days. Total about 5 days a week which is a bit weird.
The last time I subscribed to the paper, I ended up throwing it right from the driveway into the garbage can 6 days out of 7. I should have listened to my gut and just gave the kid a 20$ to leave.
So now, out of the last 6 months, we have taken the paper out of the plastic bag maybe 5 times.
One day last week on the way to the car, I grabbed one of the papers and put it on the passenger seat. Didn’t look at it though.
This morning while making the run of the blogs, I came across this general purpose post over at Argghhh! that had a link to a story in the Rocky Mountain News. The story is about the hardest job in the military. The Casualty Assistance Calls Officer. The worst job there is, the most stressful I can image, and the one person no one wants to ever see on their doorstep.
I think this 12 page article is the most important thing you will read today, if not for a long time.
Thank you to reporter Jim Sheeler for an excellent human interest story.
I was almost late for work because I could not stop reading.
On the drive in, I looked at the cover of the paper I had in the car. It included the special section containing this entire story.

Please take a little while to read the article. I might just keep subscribing to that paper now, and even look at it once in a while.
