Mountain View is in Silicon Valley. It’s my neighbor.
It is also home to Google.
People living in Mountain View are seeing their annual income increase pretty fast … more so than other places in the country.
I wonder how much people will be making when I get out of kindergarten. I also wonder when I am going to have to get a job. But not really. I have a job. I am a blogger. he he he
