I saw the show on A&E several times, then ran across a link to SD on AOL. That is about the ONLY thing I have to thank AOL for.

Thank you so much, omniscientnot!!! I didn’t even think that they would have a site, kinda dumb, since every other free paper in the world has one. I went there, and its set up well, as to be expected from such a great paper.  
Maybe I can find out, if I can sign up to get it mailed to me each week. I know, I can read it on the web and it will save paper. But, the reason I loved the city paper, is because I could bring it to Vesuvio’s (Which, no longer exists, best pizza in DC) and kill a day, eating pizza and reading stuff. Thank you again.

I work at a discount remainders/closeouts bookstore (email me if you want the url of the company, I don’t like advertising in a message) and we got ALL the books, including the newest one, in. So I read them all on my coffee breaks and lunch hours, buying 1 or 2. Then in the newest book I read of the url for this page, and started reading the message board…
