Stomping the old grounds

[Today’s run: 3 miles]

This evening I ran three miles. I went south on S. Hickory and through a neighborhood where I was an early morning newspaper delivery guy during 6th grade.

I remember getting up well before dark and going to the corner where my papers were dropped off. I put them in my bag and walked my route.

Some guys used rubber bands and plastic bags and such. I don’t remember doing any of that. I folded the papers so that they tucked in on themselves.

Things are kind of spooky in the early morning hours.

It was also my job to collect money from the customers. Some customers didn’t like to pay.

I think I did that for about 6 months.
