Now, I only subscribe to Model Railroader. Everything else, such as Proceedings, Civil War Historian, etc, I read at the Library. I figure, why add to the waste stream? My house is cluttered (although tastefully) with enough books that I couldn't justify keeping any other magazines around. Since i don't have a car, that means I'd have to hire a cab to lug them to the recycling drop off point. So, for the sake of Gaia (or whomever she is this week) I just read online or at the Library. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Respects, Ron,

Harper's, though, became unreadable and, with their monthly look at statistics, intellectually dishonest. Now, I might pick it up in a waiting room, unless there's something more promising at hand, like a 10 year old copy of National Geographic. Thanks for the link, too!
