A few random things that we learned ~
- Each roll of this paper is over 9 miles long and weighs as much as a VW bug
- They print 400,000 Sunday papers each week
- All kids love the comics!
- The biggest "insert" days are Thanksgiving day and Christmas day
- They use robots with cute names (like Newsy, Electra and Inkenstein) to move the paper rolls
- Subscribers have gone way down with the "invent" of the computer... "but not everyone has a computer" (thank you, Sweet Mr. Tour Guide, for the chuckle)
- Wearing white capris to a printing facility?? Not a good idea.
We are looking forward to participating in more activities with our homeschool group and making some new friends!
