It was 4 AM. The sound was loud,
as if a door had been slammed.
My first thoughts were, "Someone's
in the house" but no more noise
was heard.
Then I realized, it was the paper
delivery person, throwing the paper
at the garage door.
I had complained several times about
the Times being delivered wet, when
left in the middle of the driveway,
when raining. Our driveway slopes
from the house to the street and
if the paper is in the driveway, it gets
wet.
I like the paper dry so I don't have to
drive to the store for a replacement.
I had asked for the delivery to be placed
next to the garage door.
My request was realized.
