Beginning last Friday, I have enjoyed the privilege of throwing newspapers in the Dogwood Subdivision of Haughton. It has been a very rewarding experience.
First, it gets me out of the office. It seems I have been stuck indoors as of late and throwing newspapers on a nice afternoon is really refreshing.
Next, it makes me realize how fast our area is growing. Have you ever tried to map a neighborhood on mapquest, only to learn that there are a ton of streets not on mapquest yet? That has happened to me during this experience. I am amazed at the growth just in Dogwood.
I have waved to and spoken to many fine people in the neighborhood. There is just something about saying, “good afternoon” to someone and having them reciprocate the greeting.
As much as I enjoy the task of throwing newspapers in Dogwood, I cannot do it forever. So we are looking for a permanent carrier on that route. Once filled, I will move on to another Bossier Parish neighborhood.
So, if you see a smoky-gray Jeep with a Florida Gators license plate, wave. I promise to wave back.
After all, I’m just your friendly neighborhood newspaper man.
May The Blog Be With You.
