(It's only in fairly recent years that they started putting them in plastic bags, and then usually only on rainy days.) The only other delivery method I've seen is in areas where mailboxes are not attached to the house, but are on a post at the end of the driveway by the road. Some people mount a special newspaper box (usually a round tube with the name of the local newspaper printed on it) next to mailbox, and the delivery person sticks the paper in that. A special box is needed for the newspaper because it is against Federal law to put anything except official US Mail in a mailbox.

That would make the relative speed as it hits Yehuda to be same as when it left the hand of the thrower.

I think it seems reasonable for the paper to give him a good THWACK.

And by preferred I mean preferred by the paperboys/girls and the subscribers seem to be mostly indifferent. When I had a route most people didn't care(or didn't care enough to complain) if the paper was tossed on the lawn or even porch(see the popular arcade game Paperboy) but one or two wanted it in the screen down or mail slot.

Keep in mind that if the lights go out and stay out for an extended time it could be very difficult to regather your loyal readers and get the site up to speed if/when you decide to do so.  Might I suggest that you consider doing three a week (M-W-F) like Grant Munroe does with xkcd.com, or at least grace us with a strip once a week to keep us checking back in?

I've had a paper route a few times in my life and never got away with tossing plastic wrapped papers on the lawn, never known anyone who did. Where exactly does this occur? All over the USA or just in fictionland? What's more, my most recent route was a "motor route" where they thought I'd use a car (used a bike and trailer mostly) and get out of the car for each newspaper, walk up to the house, and carefully place the paper in the most secure manner possible. One house kept getting their paper stolen, that was frustrating, and out of the mailbox what's more. I got blamed for the lack of delivery a few times but I guess they sorted it out. Paper delivery is an awful way to make a few pennies. Canadians too are required to ensure the paper is put in a mailbox or between screen doors.
