Yorkie Pet Travels to The Newspaper Stand in NYC

by Schmitty on August 10, 2009

What’s all this talk about the internet and the Kindle?  Hey, I’m all for new technology, but not when it means that my local newspaper stand might go the way of the 8 track tape player -- whatever that is.

Someday a Kindlestand. Say it ain't so?

Someday a Kindlestand. Say it ain't so?

Some thoughts to ponder:

A) Will a “Kindlestand” wave hello to you when  you walk by in the morning?

B) Will a Kindle let you sniff it on morning walks.

C) Would a newspaper stand without newspapers be called 7/11?

D) Would the movies now have a kid yelling, “Kindle, Kindle” when a big news story happened.

E) Would The NY Post’s “Page 6″ on a Kindle be called “Button 6?”

F) Can you pee on a Kindle after you read it?

I’m only a five pound puppy, but I would think we need to chew on these  before turning our newsstands into a Sunglass Hut . . . no offense to Sunglass Huts,  of course.  Arf-Arf!

A Kindle is nice, but newspaper man Hahn is nicer.

While this be known on the internet as Custer's Last Stand?

What a coincidence -- my new twitter friend @Julia_Rappaport just sent out a tweet about a most interesting article, “What’s a Big City Without A Newspaper?” It was written by Michael Sokolove and appeared in the NY Times on August 6th.  See what you think:

From my POV, news, gossip & coupons for 50 cents is worth every penny.

On my way home, I met the nicest guys -- taking a break from doing construction on a big top  secret building on Broadway.  Something about a fruit and a computer.  Hey, what do I know -- I’m only a 9 inch tall dog.   Here’s  a big “bark out” to my new friends on the Broadway bench.   Arf-Arf!

A NYC park bench is a great place for a "live" tweet.

And for all you folks from Elsewhere USA,  how cool is this.   In NYC, you can have anything delivered . . . your groceries, your dry cleaning,  even your next Christmas tree on a stand!  Your pet travel can be just to the front door.  Arf-Arf!

Bag it, Danno!

Bag it, Danno!

It’s Monday and I’m already exhausted.  I think I’ll order take out for lunch.

Ya Gotta Visit NYC!

Arf-Arf,
