KODIAK TRAFFIC


Highs in the upper 30s (read 36) hailed the return of lake Kaloz to the Kodiak Road system. Lake Kaloz is the largest of the inland lakes scattered within the city limits. The actual depth of the lake is unknown, but there are reports of a “Nessy” type monster that thrives on car tires, locally known as “Potty” for the pot hole where the creature retreats to avoid the paparazzi.

How many of you Kodiak people know where Wilson St is located? Wilson St is a one block connector between Mill Bay and Carolyn. It takes the Perspective 20 maybe 25 seconds to walk its entire span on his way to work. Most days it is a lonely walk, but yesterday 13 cars whizzed past, and today, even though Wilson St was not plowed, another 5 cars zipped past. The Perspective is curious to find out why this sudden shift in traffic patterns. Is it some kind of shortcut? If so, to where? Perhaps it is a detour, though the Perspective has seen no signs to that effect. Maybe it is fear of “Potty”.

I leave for two weeks (to go to Sundance) and Kodiak has had a Tsunami and massive flooding all while I've been gone!

I think there will be a good salmon run into Lake Kaloz this year!
