Wow! rec list on my first diary (took my long enough to write one, I've been here for four years)! Thanks, everyone. I hope this helps paint the true picture of Sarah Palin's "experience."

Update: more "good" pictures of Wasilla sprawl: For those of you who want pictures, shipyardian is still local and put up this diary. It's a good read too.

Update: Oops, I was so young when I moved to Wasilla that I had to piece Palin's tenure together from memory and wikipedia, and it turns out that she was first elected in 1996, not 1999. I've updated the text to match.

Sarah Palin was my mayor.

My family moved to Wasilla when I was eleven years old. The road I lived on was still gravel, and the town then was still on its first of three successive Wal-Marts. It was 1996, and that year Sarah Palin was first elected mayor.
