eclecticism

A bit of an update to Sarah Six-Pack, thanks to an article reposted by my dad that’s been carried on a few news sites.

Sarah and Todd Palin, who are just like everyone else, and going through hard economic times just like everyone else…

• Have a combined income of nearly a quarter-million dollars, five times the median household income for Wasilla.
• Own a single-engine plane, two boats, two personal watercraft and a half-million dollar custom built home on lakefront property.
• Have an established 401(k) retirement account.
• Own four other lakeside private recreation sites, covering 35 acres and recently appraised at $102,700.
• Pay $7,662/year in taxes on their five properties.
• Report no debts other than their home mortgage.

See? Just like everyone else.

Google Maps Streetview seems to have discovered a wormhole while driving down Muldoon Road in Anchorage, Alaska (my hometown). Somehow, in all the years of driving up and down this road, I’d never noticed the sudden jump into a residential parking lot and then back onto the road itself. I’m obviously not paying enough attention!
