I read all about it

I awoke last Thursday, as did thousands of others in Allegheny County, to a power outage from the previous night's rainstorm. With no available Internet, I sat down with the morning PG (which was dry, thanks to the recyclable plastic delivery wrap) and read about the damage caused by the storm, as well as other important news.

Despite new technology -- and the incessant talk about newspapers being obsolete -- it affirmed the importance of the printed word.
