New(s) Paper

I saw an Unidentified Lying Object in front of my home this morning.

I brought it inside and cut it out of its sealed plastic. A new paper newspaper!? An interesting concept these days...

Well, I haven't missed any issues. Inside it says the paper is free despite this on the cover.

At least one piece of useful information. Inside there are good quality news stories.

What can I say?

Mug shots.
