Black and White and Red All Over

There's an old riddle that only worked if you said it out loud: "What's black and white and read all over?"

"A newspaper!"

Well, I guess that’s not true anymore. Newspapers aren’t read like they used to be. People are getting  news from the Internet, TV, or radio. I rarely pick up a newspaper anymore, with the exception of a monthly paper called the Mountain Courier which covers events in the northern Shenandoah Valley. 

I’m thinking of newspapers today because The Washington Post just laid off a huge number of employees. I stopped subscribing to it quite a while back, before the 2024 election. The owner has made a series of poor decisions, in my opinion. 

Anyway, I’m sharing a black-and-white picture and a color photo that’s predominantly red. Both of these are from Harrisonburg.

The Funkhouser Women’s Center has a view of a small pond with Massanutten Mountain in the distance. I had a bone density scan. It showed I have osteopenia, which I already knew. I’m glad it has not progressed to osteoporosis.

The red walls are in a fast food place. I don’t eat there, but they have decent restrooms and inexpensive expensive soft drinks. This one had tables so shiny you could see a reflection.
