no hiding place

I ran to the rocks to hide my face, the rocks said there's no hiding place...

ok I'll get back to me and Santa later..maybe finish up by Christmas but there's other news...it's not all about me all the time you know..

so I'm reading the Real Estate pages in the News-Press and I see Wendy just bought Nipper a condo for 1.1 million dollars! that's the only conclusion I can reach because I know the News-Press is losing money and subscribers and it's worth much less than Wendy paid for it, so Nipper's salary can't be that huge, can it? he must have a trustfund!! or maybe he started a nonprofit??

anyway the condo is in Plaza Sonodores which I've never heard of... House of the Song of Doris?? no it's in Bonnymede! oh shit..this nitwit is now living in the same place as my kin!!

Bonnymede is located next to the Coral Casino and the Biltmore and is a short stroll to the beach and lower Montecito Village amenities...there's different price ranges from 5 million down to 1 million, depending on the ocean view..looks like Nipper got a low end kinda deal!

but still, this doesn't make any sense...Nipper makes under $100000/year and he buys a million dollar condo?? in a place that doesn't allow dogs??? at least I haven't seen any....

let's see...the average salary of a newspaper publisher is:
Newspaper Publisher: According to PayScale, a newspaper publisher earns $30,648 to $60,549 for one to four years of experience; $29,042 to $67,146 plus for five or more years of experience....

let's do a search on Wendy to see if she could afford to buy Nipper a condo:

Wendy McCawAKA Wendy Petrak

Born: 1951
Birthplace: Redwood City, CA

Gender: Female
Race or Ethnicity: White
Sexual orientation: Straight
Occupation: Philanthropist, Publisher

Nationality: United States
Executive summary: Billionaire

Husband: Craig McCaw (m. 1974, div. 1997)
Boyfriend: Gregory Parker (ex)
Boyfriend: Arthur von Weisenberger (engaged)

and Wendy's epic 1998 Seattle court battle over $2 billion in family holdings with then-hubby Craig produced the state's biggest divorce settlement ever. It was where Wendy learned to wage law using legal shock troops. As we reported back then:

Craig McCaw enlisted 33 forensic financial experts and turned over 147,000 pages of paperwork to Wendy's attorneys in an attempt to prove what was his and what was hers. She countered with 30 experts of her own and 58,000 pages of paperwork, plus sought volumes of confidential records from other McCaw family members. She also served papers on Craig's business partners, Bill Gates and Boeing, who cried foul.
When the legal dust and the feuding McCaws finally settled, Wendy walked away with somewhere around $1 billion in cash, stocks and assets, attorneys estimated, including several boats and planes and four homes in California.

Court records indicate she spent about $3.5 million in the futile effort to punish editor Roberts. But the socialite and animal-welfare activist continues to live the good life in Santa Barbara where today,
according to her website, she "enjoys golfing and resides...with her fiancé, Arthur von Wiesenberger, their cat and two donkeys."

I will get to the bottom of this shady real estate transaction because, well... because I got some inside connections....  and when I'm visiting and I see Nipper and Wendy walking about the lovely gated yet zoo- like grounds with their donkey...hey wait a minute, I could ask them why they endorsed Orla Taitz last year..they would have to oblige me or I'll report them to the Bonnymede homeowner's association...yeah, I got 'em now..they walked right into my trap!! I'm like a spider and they are the flies!!

Nipper and Wendy can run, but they can't hide because there's no hiding place..even down here.....
