I live in the Bitter Lake neighborhood of North Seattle and was surprised and delighted when I opened my mailbox and found a complimentary copy of The Seattle Sun. If it is your plan to continue to mail out complimentary copies in the future, I will continue to be delighted. If that was only a sample and not a regular event, I will be forced to subscribe. Which I will definitely do.

I particularly enjoy Stan Stapp's "Stan's Lookout" and Jane Lotter's "Jane Explains" columns. If Jane thinks "fif---GrrrBurrrDurrr" is bad, just wait until she gets to six---Arghhhh!
