Trashy newspapers

Its early fall on Nicollet ave. I’m waiting for the #9. I gradually notice that there is a person (a woman I think) with heavy coat, hat, scarf, mittens standing near the bus stop. In fact she is so heavily dressed that all that is visible is her eyes. Yet its 50 degrees outside.

Every few minutes she walks to one of the free newspaper kiosks, furtively grabs as many newspapers as she can, temporarily hides them under her coat and then throws them in the nearest trash can.

Eventually she quietly and calmly gets on the #9 and serenely and innocently rides to her destination.

I’m baffled. What does She have against Vita Mn and City Pages? Hmmm?!!!
