<DIV></DIV>>How 'bout this:
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Let's annualize the salaries of fire fighters (this would
<DIV></DIV>>work better in Pullman than in Moscow, where almost all are
<DIV></DIV>>volunteers). They're hired to fight fires, so the only time
<DIV></DIV>>they're working is when they're -- you guessed it --
<DIV></DIV>>fighting fires. With this approach, I'll bet some
<DIV></DIV>>firefighters have annualized salaries of a lot more than $1
<DIV></DIV>>million. Even if we count in the hours they spend on
<DIV></DIV>>training.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>And people who post to Vision2020 while at work obviously
<DIV></DIV>>are being more amply rewarded than you'd think if you looked
<DIV></DIV>>at their pay checks. Because they aren't actually working
<DIV></DIV>>all the time they're "on the job," and thus could have their
<DIV></DIV>>salaries "annualized."
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>This seems an appropriate point to make it clear that I
<DIV></DIV>>admire and highly value both teachers and firefighters. And
<DIV></DIV>>many of the people who post to Vision2020. (That includes
<DIV></DIV>>Dale, who has treated us to some good graphs.)
