Sports Editor, Nantucket

And what else did Helen give you?

 

Lucky you, PB, getting set up with a plane ride to the island. Sure beats the lengthy boat ride (does the boat even run that time of year?).

 

one last time.

 

http://www.homefair.com/homefair/calc/salcalc.html -- gives you a rough estimate on what you salary is worth in a different town, as in "if you make $10,000 in Butthole Town, you would need $11,245 to live on in Smellpoo Springs"

In this example, I took the $40,000 max salary at Nantucket (actually, the closest I could get on the site was Hyannis), and applied it to some cities to see just how sweet that 40 large really is. Here's what $40,000 there is equivalent to elsehwere:

Charlotte -- $26,475
Raleigh -- $26,888
Richmond -- $28,651
Alexandria, Va. -- $43,595
Baltimore -- $29,906
Manhattan -- $64,407
Manhattan, Kan. -- $23,652
Austin, Texas -- $29,414
Olympia, Wash -- $31,608
Wheeling, W. Va. -- $24,876

Just as a frame of reference: I'd bet that if Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard were in there, the numbers would drop for the other cities.

 

Do you get to cover the annual Sleighride?

 

Whose love is given over well shall look on Helen's face in hell. Whereas those whose love is thin and wise shall see John Knox in paradise.

 

i like the new quick reply function

 

Anyone ever covered a game on Catalina Island in Cali? I haven't, but would think it to be a good story to do someday
