Now, when you are on the KU campus as soon as a pedestrian's foot touches the pedestrian crossing you must slam on your brakes because the pedestrians on campus will not even look to see if you are stopping. What I learned about Lawrence from my four years at KU, make sure you wear tennis shoes and can easily run one mile. Hide your money and keys in a backpack, do not wear jewelry and if you are a woman NEVER go out at night on campus unless you are with others. So my advice to Main-Administrator is this, even though you have free wireless connection, make sure you DO NOT RETIRE IN LAWRENCE unless you are politically connected to the left.
