things are different here

In Nome we do things a bit different than in other places we've lived.
We don't lock our house or our truck.
We get to talk to the UPS guy, Kenny, on the phone before a package is delivered.
We sparingly watch TV on the internet b/c we only have so much "space" to use.
I leave "work shoes" in the office and at the NACTEC house.
We take vitamin D everyday.
I drop my students off at the airport so they can go home and wait to call their principal until I see the plane take off.
We take advantage of business trips to ANC to fill up our totes with goods we can't get here or are outrageously priced here.
Our brewed ends up being half the price of buying cheap beer here.
We receive a CSA box once a week and pick it up at the church.
We check out books using our names only, no cards.
Our home is very comfortable b/c we do not pay heat ourselves.
We have a PO box.
We use ATMs b/c the grocery stores do not give cash back.
Going anywhere takes longer than expected b/c you see someone you know/recognize and they want to talk.
We never find everything we want on our shopping list.
My students say, "I joke" instead of just kidding. They joke a lot.
There isn't a lot going on here so the health fair becomes a big deal.
We finally have a washer and dryer of our own in our own house and can do laundry anytime.
We voted for a republican.
We workout/swim regularly
We are both employed in jobs we were educated to do.
