When do you get it when you're not out in the boonies?   ;D

Sorry--couldn't resist. ...  ::)

You get it the Tuesdays before the cover date?

Wait, don't you still live in a suburb of Denver?

I used to get mine on Tuesdays. I'm actually not sure when I get it now because I only bother to look into my mail box a couple of times a week.

Yes I do. According to Manhattanites, that's the boonies.

Does anybody remember, or has anybody seen, the famous New Yorker cover " View of the World from 9th Avenue"?

Hard to believe it goes all the way back to 1976 (  :o  )! That was long before I began reading the magazine, so I can't now say how I know it. I guess
Denver really is so far out in the boonies that it doesn't even appear on the map.

Yes, I do. After reading Lee's post but before reading yours, I was going to post it. My parents had a book of Saul Steinberg drawings.

According to that map, Los Angeles is the boonies, too!
