Skaneateles

1. "Long Lake."

2. A small lake town in central New York where a person's intrinsic value is based solely on the amount of money in their bank account.

The cops there don't have radar guns. They have pay stub scanners. Being a 5-figure wage earner in Skaneateles is actually a misdemeanor punishable by community service - which usually entails mowing every member of the PTA's lawns while they stand around and watch, sipping on martinis and talking about how much money they have.

If you're caught driving a car in Skaneateles which is more than 2 years old, or has more than 25,000 miles on it, you have to pay a "Burden on the Community" fee. Apparently "old" cars bring down the property value.

When the children learn good posture in Skaneateles, they don't balance books on tops of their heads. They balance them on their foreheads so as to keep their nose the proper angle in the air (approximately 89.382 degrees). They need to be prepared for when they see "poor people" (AKA: people without millions of dollars and 3 vacation homes).

Skaneateles has sometimes been referred to as the "Guilded Ghetto" because the children are sheltered from the "outside world," better known as real life.
I went to Skaneateles one time. But, I got arrested for not having thousands of dollars in cash in my wallet. It's a good thing they didn't find out that I don't have a trust fund...

Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
