I have had the same paper boy (girl) for 12 years. She always delivered early in the morn so I can walk down to the Mailbox get my paper and come in to have a cup of java.

She called me yesterday, told me she was quitting and asked if she could come by to get her last payment.

I asked her who was going to deliver my paper now and she said probably the district manager

She said about 15 people quit because they couldn't afford the gas anymore to deliver (we live in a rural area).

Isn't that SAD!!!!!

People trying to make it the best way they know how and they can't even afford to work because of the gas prices.

EWWWWW that just burns me.
