Thank you both for the correction on GRIP's pickup day.

Until recently, I have taken my old newspapers to Atlas Waste Paper, on
the South Side (first left off Carson going west from the Brady St.
bridge).  It's rather interesting:  You drive up in your loaded car (in
between the semi-'s), they weigh it (using an ancient beam balance),
you go around to the back, empty the paper, then come back to get
reweighed and paid (a penny a pound).  Taking gas and time into account,
the excursion is a resonable proposition only if you go there with a
few hundred pounds of paper.  Have you ever had to wait for 300lbs of
Pittsburgh Presses to collect in the basement?   Can you imagine what it 
does to your suspension?

Giving the stuff away to grip seems more resonable. 

Alex.
