You Know You're an Old Pacifican When ...
How do you know you're an oldie but goodie Pacifican? Here's what Pacifica Patch readers added to a popular list.
Early April, Pacifica Patch asked readers to contribute to the list "You Know You're an 'Old' Pacifican When...," which can be found on Pacifica Riptide and was "sent in by a fellow rocket scientist and Mensa member from Sun Valley, who says to repost the list and keep adding to it."
The list currently compiles 52 ways to know you're an oldie but goodie Pacifican. Read the list here.
Well, here are 18 more ways, submitted by you for Pacifica Riptide editor and publisher John Maybury to take into consideration and perhaps add to the list.
