Deja Vu at the RT Again
Once again, the Roanoke Times has, uh, recycled some of its material. This morning, I braved the monsoon (which has already dumped more than two inches of rain here since last night) to get the paper and feed the outside critters.
Feeding the horses and barn cats wasn't too bad. The mares were already waiting in their run-in shed; the barn kitties were lurking in the tractor shed. Dog-feeding was a challenge, though. After wading into the kennel to feed the dogs, I was anxious to get back to the house, shuck my soggy socks and sneakers, grab a cup of coffee, and read the paper.
Uh, oh! Page 5 of the Extra section looked strangely familiar. A quick dig through the recycling basket produced Monday's paper. Page 7 was almost identical (funnies, Jumble, Wordy Gurdy and the other puzzles—even the horoscopes!) but there were two differences. Do you see them?
A quick cat scan finds those differences right away:
If the RT folks can change the Kroger ad and the birthdays at the bottom, why can't they fix the whole page?

Today's page is on the left; Monday's on the right.

Unbelievable. It's a wonder they have any subscribers.
Perhaps a quick cat scan of the heads of the RT management is needed?

P.S. May I borrow a horse for the Savage Thunder sex on a horse test pretty please? LOL
I like your Cat Skan...
Snappy Di, my mare Melody is at your disposal. But you're gonna be sorry. . . .
The resident inquisitive cat, Eddie-puss, is very good at detecting errors.
It's part of the green push--recycle, reuse, reduce. Hopefully they're outsourcing this type of work to a foreign country to save money. The good news is that they had the good sense to change the ads--forgetting to do that would have been a BIG problem!
Kelly noticed that but I didn't pay attention to her! She's a kid! I should be proud she caught that.
I knew it. They changed the paid ads.
I love this post! Cats are the best.
