Kodiak Diary
(continued from page 6)
pointed out she had called the
wrong animal. In Seaview, Wash,
a large lady coming across the
street started cackling shrilly on
sighting it. What’s so funny we
asked. I don’t know, she gasped
between shrieks, I guess it’s be
cause I haven’t seen one for a
long time, and she went on down
the street, holding her sides from
laughing so hard. We hoped
she’d have a stitch in time. A
soldier on a train stuck his arm
across a passageway to stop us.
nearly knocked our head off, and
demanded "Are you a Christ

On a bus where five lad’es
were strung across the long back
seat we finally decided to light a
cigarette. Almost immediately

the ladies began hauling out
their packs. One of them explain
ed it—I wasn’t gonna smoke be
cause 1 thought you were a priest
or something but now I guess
you ain’t. We wouldn’t give her
the satisfaction of telling her
whether we ain’t or not. In Sea
side, Ore. we got into one of
those little cars that run around
a room and everybody tries to
bump each other and immediate
ly a bunch started ganging up
on our car and as they would
crash into it from all directions
they would yell, as we started
falling back down toward our
seat, a loud ’‘Whiskerino!” They
had a lot of fun. At a swimming
pool a girl swam from the far end
to stick her head out of the
water and demand “What kind
of a beard is that?” ‘ It’s a hair
beard”, we replied feebly. “Oh,”
she said, “it’s very becoming,”
and swam away. Becoming
monotonous, we muttered in the
thing she was asking about.
What amazed us would be the
way people would whisper re
marks to other people in a voice
that could be heard on the Kod
iak telephone system and then
be flabbergasted when we let
them know we heard. A waitress
in the Gowman hotel coffee shop
whispered to a coworker “I’d be
afraid to grow a thing like that
for fear of getting something in
it’’ and when we spoke up and
said “Or get it in something” she
got so confused she forgot where
to go with her hamburger. The
beard was even responsible for
bringing tears in one such case.
As we boarded the bus two
young ladies sat side by side.
One whispered to the other,
“Look at the man with the funny
beard”. “What’s funny about
it?” we asked as we passed her
seat. She let out a gasp and her
mother, sitting in the next seat,
spoke up. “Good, good.” she
said. “I’m glad you said that.
I’ve been trying to break her of
making comments about peo
ple ” The girl began to cry and
as we took a seat farther back
her sobs sounded throughout the
bus. Finally she turned around
and with red-rimmed eyes apolo
gized very prettily. We muttered
something about it being entirely
our fault for wearing such an
anachroni m and felt like a
sheep-killing dog for the next 9
miles. Where we got off.
On returning to Kodiak we
breathed an immense sigh of re
lief. And immediately had a hor
rid thought. For it was in Kod
iak, we remembered, where we
were heading gaily past tire bank
building one day when a totally
strange woman (stranger to us,
we mean) planted herself in f.ont
of us, blocking our way. As we
stopped she reached out a grasp
ing hand toward our hidden
throat, circled her fingers about
the teard and lifted it up with a
quick pull that jerked our head
back.
Then she let go and our head
came back to normal for it.
“Well!” we said, as aggrieved
ly as we could
“I just wanted to see,” said
the woman without guile, "if you
bad a bird’s nest in it.”
Which explains why we have
taken to walking down the mid
dle of the street.
