Now here’s a story people who work at a newspaper, like me, enjoy hearing!
An 80 year-old man fell into a hole, but didn’t let go of his morning newspaper. Here’s the story from newsday.com:
>>Michael Ciron‘s walk down his lawn for his morning newspapers Sunday took a little longer than he expected.
Ciron, 80, of Oceanside, said that about 9:30 a.m. he fell 8 to 9 feet into a narrow hole that appeared in his front lawn — landing in his slippers in wet, shifting sand — before being quickly rescued unscathed by local firefighters.
“When I fell down there, it was scary,” he said. “The dirt down there was like sand.”
He started to call for help, but soon realized that his voice wouldn’t carry far beyond the narrow pit.
