You know you are in Kodiak when....

  • When traffic reports are replaced by the FISHING REPORTS
  • The water on the floor mat in your car is frozen
  • You automatically remove your boots when entering someone's home
  • You use flat-rate priority mail boxes more than envelopes
  • In Winter, you know who is taking their Vitamin D and who isn't
  • If you don't already have auto-start on your vehicle, you wish you had it
  • You know what a Coastie is, and it doesn't mean you live near the beach
  • You know what Xtra Tuffs are, and you have some
  • You have to do the Kodiak Stomp before entering a store
  • Just because you have a ticket to fly, doesn't mean you will actually leave that day--"weather permitting"
  • It's cheaper to buy DVD's than to have cable TV
  • Store clerks actually wish you a "Merry Christmas"
  • You hear people complain about having to drive "all the way to the other side of town" (10 minutes)
  • Traffic congestion is 3 cars at an intersection
  • Your car doesn't have a chance to warm up before you arrive at work
  • When looking out the window is more reliable than the weather forecast
  • You go to work, church, and shop with the same people
  • Driving a rusty car is "no big deal"

Training for Jeopardy??

We were watching the discovery channel this evening, the program was the top 10 most dangerous sharks in the world. We had watched more than a half hour of the program and a "pop up" advertisement came up at the bottom of the TV screen inviting viewers to visit the Discovery Channel website to sign-up for text messages to be sent to a cell phone about "Shark Facts".

According to the Discovery website, apparently if you sign up for this service, you will receive a text message daily with shark facts "to impress your friends", from July 7 through October 6. Wow, that's something. Too bad we aren't that "into" sharks, and we don't have text messaging as part of our cell plan, nor the friends that would be impressed with that newly acquired knowledge--especially on a daily basis.

Perhaps a text message with the cheapest gas station in town would be more appropriate? That would be impressive.
