Pumps' Perplexities

It is almost a generally known fact by now that the publishing
of newspapers does not have the financial rewards it once had...
Newspapers are losing their readership...24/7 cable news
programs and the internet are becoming major providers of
news and information...

Newspapers are now adapting their subscription requirements
to meet their customers needs...First there was 7 days a week...
Then there was weekday (6 issues) and Sunday (1 issue)...
Some newspapers now offer weekdays (5 issues) and weekend
(2 issues), Saturday and Sunday...The latest subscription
offering is an extended weekend (3 issues), Friday, Saturday
and Sunday...

I expect, the pretty soon, you will be able to order the newspaper
on the days you want it...Like, let us throw in Wednesday's
Food issue...With any great hope, maybe cable television will
some day offer the same subscription plan and let us only pay
for the channels we watch and not the 50 we do not...

There is always hope...Pumps
