### 4/5 — My daily fix

*2025-08-11*

I start each day with the Tribune and my coffee.  I access the paper on my iPad because I like the format it shows.  I can get state and national news from the tv and internet, but I want to know what is happening in Ames.  I like the enews so that old papers don’t pile up for recycling.  I would appreciate some kind of calendar of events.

### 1/5 — No help.

*2024-08-29*

It doesn’t tell me how to update the ap.  The newspaper I pay for a subscription to won’t show up on my phone or iPad.  No number to call for help.  I just got a renewal notice for the paper (not due until Oct.). if they don’t contact me and help me with this web site I will not renew.
