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.

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"?
