Carefree view

To the editor:

Monday morning, I was at Dillons on 23rd Street to purchase the New York Times and a tall cup of coffee at Starbucks. An attractive young woman (blonde) brought me the coffee and saw the paper and the four-column picture on the front page and asked me, “What is that?”

I said, “It is showing the devastation from the 8.8 earthquake in Chile.” She says, “Wow! I didn’t know there was an earthquake in Chile!”

I explained how everyone was watching the results on TV and watching for the tsunami in Hawaii. Then I asked if she was a student at KU, and she was. It is nice to be young, attractive, and free as the wind without a care in the world.
