Gorgeous Lakefront w/ Weapons Cache
You know those real estate ads in the back of the New York Times Magazine on Sundays? The ones for homes you will never afford as a copywriter or art director? The ones in places like Bedford, NY or New Canaan, CT? They're fun to dream about, just in case your two-person startup agency lands, I don't know, the Boeing account or someone equally loaded. Saw this beautiful home and had to check it out online at Century21.com. (Click that link for the virtual tour.) It's a mammoth log cabin on a lake, with boat dock, guest house, garage with workshop, etc. It's the kind of place you could see yourself in a few years entertaining extended family and friends for the Holidays. Or maybe just the kind of place where you could tell the federal government to go to Hell while you stock up on weapons and form your own separatist society.
This lovely home is located in northern Idaho. My grandfather came from Idaho. Played fullback for the University of Idaho. Then he loaded up the truck and he moved to Diego.
So-Cal, that is.
Beaches.
Navy bases.
But alas, it seems Hayden, Idaho, where this $4 million charmer is situated, is also well-known as the former home to the Aryan Nations.
But times are changing here in the Great Melting Pot. The town of Hayden now has a 0.19% African-American population, and I hear you can even get BET on local cable there now.

What's sad is that 30 years ago CDs could imagine themselves affording those houses.
Times changed. Holding companies appeared. Salaries dropped.

Well, I think they should knock the price down to $1 million just because of the Aryan Nation stank.
Toad -- I think I smelled some of those guys in the elevator when IPG came to visit our old office.Pate breath.

The government? In a house like that (if it weren't in such proximity to aryan nationites) I would just ole up and tell the WORLD to go to hell. Minus my loved ones, natch.
