I was out and about nearly all of the holiday weekend so I did not spend
any time on the computer. I heard from others about all the flooding in
the south, mainly Texas and Oklahoma from what I understand. I googled
"Texas Flood" and found many hits. CNN, Fox news, MSNBC, and so on.

After going to 3 or 4 of these sites and waiting over an hour for them
to load, I only say one photo. There are lots of videos though. The
problem is that I am on dialup, and can not view videos. And in all
honesty, I'd rather see some still photos. (and I an not referring to
all the ads that loaded pictures).

The WWW continues to become more and more worthless everytime I use it.
Now they have sites that require us to type in a code which they call a
Captcha, for entry, which is ONLY to view the site. I refuse to use
those sites, and just click the close button immediately. There is
absolutely no reason anyone should have to type in any code to only VIEW
a site.

We have all these fancy computers these days and are being forced to go
back to the old daily newspaper and tv coverage, if we really just want
to read and article with pictures...... Sad but true!

Anyhow, is there any site that still shows the daily news in a
"newspaper" style, neaming text and photos only?

And no, I dont use Facebook or other social media garbage....

I don't know what state you live in, I usually live in a state of confusion but I do reside in Alabamastan. We have a website that isn't loaded up with lots of video and it's "al.com" which is like an online newspaper. Perhaps the state where you live has a similar website that focuses mostly on local and statewide news just like a local paper. 8-)
