Do you have a paperboy? You know, one of those kids who walk the neighborhood with a bag strapped over his shoulder, throwing newspapers on your front step with the accuracy of a hall of fame pitcher?

Our paperboy showed up yesterday, and delivered a strike.



Notice the gentleman on the bow.
He's winding up to throw a rolled up Texas newspaper to the crew of the barge.

This practice of the Pilot boats delivering newspapers to ships and tugs when they are delivering pilots, has been going on forever. It's a nice touch, I must say.

When I first started in this business, they would often deliver, along with the newspaper, a carton of Marlboro cigarettes.
You don't see that anymore.
