Newspaper War, Chapter Two

This time the newspaper is totally missing. It may have been delivered, but not to Fio's door. If it was left at the street, anyone walking by could have picked it up.

Fiorella, who sticks to her guns, called the American-Statesman again and complained again. Kristin (remember that name) assured her the situation would be rectified. We'll see. For a newspaper whose readership is dropping daily, the Statesman certainly is cavalier about pleasing paying customers.

Fio phoned Husband at work to bring home his newspaper for the day. At 5:30, he drove in with not only his newspaper, but two more he'd picked up in driveway.

This story is not yet over.

Newspaper War

FIO WON! The American-Statesman is being delivered to her door again! She doesn't know what did it--Husband's phone call, her phone call, her letter to the editor, sending her Fio column to the editor, the usual carrier returning from a holiday vacation, whatever--but Fio's day is starting as it should again.

But she's going to think twice before giving the carrier a twenty-dollar tip again next Christmas.
