Quarters

  I was born in Kodiak, Alaska in 1993. I guess that information wouldn't mean much to anybody, except for me, of course. Kodiak was my favorite place! So naturally every time Alaska is mentioned, be it in movies or documentaries or by anybody that I pass by, I get excited and listen to almost every word.
  But recently, last night (or was it early this morning?) I realized that there have been two quarters in my pocket for the last week. I had been carrying around fifty cents and had nothing to do with it, so i extracted them from y pocket.
  i wasn't overly shocked that the first quarter I looked at was the 2008 collectible quarter Alaska. Those have become so commonplace it's not surprising to find them lying around here and there. But I thought to myself, 'Wouldn't it be strange if the second quarter was a 1993 mint?' And sure enough, when I turned it over to squint (for I was extremely tired. Why do all the good shows on the science and weather channel only come on in the middle of the night/early morning?) at the face, I saw a nice 1993 under the bust of George Washington. Now, I don't exactly believe in signs or hidden meanings in the goings on of every day life, but I have to admit that I was very surprised by this and had a feeling of worth as I turned them over in my hands.
  Or, of course, it could mean nothing and be mere coincidence.
  You never know.
  Alice out!
