Thanks - what an interesting life Perot lived and he was generous with his wealth.

At first I thought they were going to say that he was entering the presidential race, but that was billionaire Tom Steyer.

...and probably gave Dana Carvey a hernia because he played BOTH Perot and (GHW) Bush.

I had to go to the dump (landfill) yesterday.
20 mile round trip from my house.
I usually just relax and daydream when making this drive.
On yesterday's drive, on the way home, the following random thought popped into my head:
"Is Ross Perot still alive"?

Looks like they did.

(62,444 posts)13. But what if they heard it, but you didn't?
The question is not whether they heard it. You asked whether you heard it.
Did you hear the same thing that I just heard?
