It’s a telling time for the newspaper industry when even the grand ole’ New York Times is relying upon a “last man standing” strategy. Sadly, another newspaper had no such luck and so today the Rocky Mountain News called it quits, writing their own obituary. Sad stuff, and I wish those impacted all the best.

However, when you dig through the comments on that page (why do I always read comments?), one particular user “DrQuinnFan2009” took it particularly hard:

I am a huge Dr. Quinn fan and with the news finding out that the Rocky Mountain News is closing up shop makes me very very sad. Dr. Quinn was set in Colorado Springs right after the civil war and I can't remember if the Rocky Mountain news was mentioned during the show being that I've only seen the show all the way through only once but still it hurts and kind of hits me pretty hard. I am planning to move to Colorado in the future and knowing that a newspaper that was around before the civil war set in Colorado like in Dr. Quinn just makes me very very sad. I realize that I'm repeating myself but I just can't believe someone couldn't bail you guys out..Where is Dorothy Jennings when you need her the most ;)

I’ll get around to writing a real post one of these days. Perhaps. Until then, ta ta.
