School’s out. Is your Internet ready?

Permit us a moment of yelling at kids to get off the lawn.

Well, actually, there are no kids on the lawn; they’re inside somewhere.

This ad in the morning paper from Xfinity reaffirms that the school’s-out euphoria perhaps isn’t what it once was.

About the blogger

Bob Collins

bcollins@mpr.org • @newscut

Bob Collins retired from Minnesota Public Radio in 2019 after 12 years of writing NewsCut and pointing out to complainants that posts weren’t news stories. A son of Massachusetts, he was a news editor 1992-1998, created the MPR News regional website in 1999, invented the popular Select A Candidate, started several blogs, and every day lamented that his Minnesota Fantasy Legislature project never caught on.
