[speaker001:] okay I will I guess I will start and say that I keep up uh with current events mostly from three or four areas
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] and I'll tell you what they are and uh then you uh would you please uh tell me how you do it
[speaker002:] sure
[speaker001:] I think I keep up better with what's going on in the world from the newspaper but I usually am introduced to subjects by television
[speaker002:] and then if something that struck your fancy then you pay attention more to that kind of topic then when you get the newspaper
[speaker001:] exactly in more detail
[speaker002:] um-hum um-hum
[speaker001:] I also take uh Time magazine and I enjoy that a lot and uh I get a lot of uh I think pretty good detail there and uh I'm pretty I'm pretty satisfied with I think those and some friends who are who are very knowledgeable
[speaker002:] um-hum yes
[speaker001:] and how how do you
[speaker002:] well basically the same thing I I know uh my husband's favorite radio station in all the world is KRLD he we wake up to KRLD we go to sleep at night to KRLD and I used to just really argue about that and battle that and I don't so much anymore because I do want to keep up and know what's going on and it helps I don't often uh have time to sit down and watch the evening news kind of thing but if I'm around during the daytime and have a chance I'll switch on CNN always have watched CNN ever since we got the cable
[speaker001:] yes
[speaker002:] uh you know coverage that provided for that and have always enjoyed it and am glad to see them getting a little uh boost these days since the uh war a little more uh recognition and credibility
[speaker001:] yes yes
[speaker002:] I've I uh have access to Time and Newsweek and The Wall Street Journal all of which I rely on more I think than what I get over network TV news
[speaker001:] yes
[speaker002:] and like you you know knowledgeable friends I work for a fellow who is uh in the oil industry internationally and travels a lot to third world countries and all around and I feel like a lot of times what we get from his contacts is far more valid
[speaker001:] wonderful
[speaker002:] then you know but that's only in a real specialized area you know that's not that's just political it's not the medical arena it's not technology particularly although sometimes it overlaps
[speaker001:] of course
[speaker002:] into those kinds of things but I don't think I would be satisfied if all I had was just television
[speaker001:] no
[speaker002:] you know the uh the newspapers I think you know they uh I think a lot of the meat of what I get out out of the newspaper's not on the front page
[speaker001:] I think that's right too well especially The Wall Street Journal
[speaker002:] yeah yeah I uh I have really enjoyed being able to have access to that the last couple of years it uh
[speaker001:] don't you find though that it's hard to find time
[speaker002:] yes
[speaker001:] to yeah to the reading is The Wall Street Journal if I don't read it the day that it comes in then if they start piling up on me then I have to just forget about about it usually
[speaker002:] um-hum um-hum well and you know you just take a a newspaper just your your regular daily average big city newspaper there's more information in one than an entire month magazine you know monthly periodical
[speaker001:] yes
[speaker002:] and a lot of times I'll just take the whole thing soon as I get it and I take out the sections I want trash the rest otherwise you like you say the the stack of paper is so large
[speaker001:] really
[speaker002:] it's unmanageable just in your home situation
[speaker001:] it really is and especially if you're trying to
[speaker002:] you know
[speaker001:] save papers for recycling
[speaker002:] um-hum that's right yeah
[speaker001:] just terrible job but uh I think I enjoy uh Time and I I get Insight and I don't like that magazine very much
[speaker002:] I I'm not familiar with that one
[speaker001:] it looks like a little Time
[speaker002:] um-hum um-hum
[speaker001:] but it is not written as well as Time staff uh writers do but I I like some of those magazines because they just choose certain subjects I guess
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] and deal with a uh
[speaker002:] well I'm a nonfiction oriented kind of person anyway oh I enjoy a good novel but you know given the choice in the doctor's office when they're all lined up I'm much more apt to grab the Time or Newsweek or US News and World Reports than I ever would People or McCall's or although I've you know I read those kinds of things too occasionally and and and find things that are current and
[speaker001:] well
[speaker002:] updated but I don't know I just just my particular predisposition I I tend more the other way so I try not to ever find myself in a situation without something to read because my reading time comes in
[speaker001:] yes right
[speaker002:] little snatches I have five kids so by the time I get around to actually reading I have you know I may have ten or fifteen minutes of slot to read so
[speaker001:] I guess you have five children well
[speaker002:] uh-huh well they're good kids
[speaker001:] uh oh well of course
[speaker002:] and this you know this is another reason though I think that ah makes me real aware and encouraging because I know there's always a a a tidbit of information that's going to come across some I'm either gonna read it or I'm gonna hear it that they can turn right around and use in a report
[speaker001:] exactly
[speaker002:] so if I hear a statistic that's interesting or whatnot even just driving in the car I'll make a little note and uh you know of where that came from and the time I heard it and whatnot so they can use that in a bibliography
[speaker001:] well you are passing good information on to them aren't you
[speaker002:] I hope so I hope so I think kids tend to watch news for the sensationalism my kids love to watch the news but it's not always you know you wonder if it's for the right reason
[speaker001:] yes right
[speaker002:] not just the gore
[speaker001:] they've heard it though
[speaker002:] yeah yeah but I think it's a good habit to
[speaker001:] sure it is
[speaker002:] to establish uh
[speaker001:] it has been nice talking to you
[speaker002:] thank you so much and uh
[speaker001:] enjoyed it a great deal
[speaker002:] I'll uh just be anxious to tell my daughter's friend that there's a nice lady out there
[speaker001:] there really is it's beautiful
[speaker002:] and that there's she's not falling off the face of the earth
[speaker001:] it really is beautiful you will enjoy I know she will enjoy it
[speaker002:] well my daughter hopes to come visit before too long so we're uh we're anxious to point that way sometime take care and have a good day
[speaker001:] oh good thank you you too
[speaker002:] bye-bye
