Body:
This topic may have a limited appeal but at least a few others such as Gary Patton will relate. I delivered the Tempe Daily News. I had the largest route in the city at the time. 140 papers. Just with the regular paper my canvas bags on my handle bars were stuffed. When the route truck delivered the dreaded inserts ( the advertisements) that we had to insert it would take a good extra hour or more before I could even start my route. On big holidays and Sundays it was crazy. There was a concrete irrigation stand at the station (next to Kelly Moeur's house). This was my first act of protest against the establishment. I could not take another Sears insert. Or JC Penny's or Goldwaters. I took all of the bundles and tossed them in the stand pipe reasoning that they would be flushed away by the irrigation. And then I could go and deliver the newspaper by itself. I will never know how they figured me out. Maybe the manager for Goldwater's was on my route. But rats, I was caught and duly informed that If I did it again I would be fired. Shortly after I sold ( or pawned off ) my route to Gary and the route was broken in to.
