And it was already later. . .

From the Casper Star Tribune:
Last month, because pressroom operations had become unsustainable, the Star-Tribune made the decision to close its pressroom in favor of printing at a regional printing plant in Cheyenne. One of the many important issues we considered in making this decision was what to do about high school and UW sports coverage. We know this coverage is important to readers across Wyoming and one reason many subscribe to the state-wide newspaper. So we decided to do whatever it takes to include information that is critical to the value of our newspaper to many readers. 
Sports reports and scores are typically not available until after our first deadline. So including this important coverage requires later deadlines, and subsequently later production and delivery to your door on those days, typically fall weekends.
Oh yeah. . .that printing in Cheyenne isn't going to make any difference.

It's been slower every day now in general.  Indeed, on early days, and my early days start really early, it isn't making it here before I go to work.  But then most days it does.  Still, it's now rare for it to be on my doorstep when I wake up and stumble to my coffee.

And it appears that it will be later still. . . and it was already late on the weekends.
