**OTOT** Scumbria ole friend,
You write:>>I don't use the SUV to commute very often. I prefer larger vehicles like 737's and 747's. <<
You need to repent! Start with trashing your SUV on a rock or off a steep cliff. To sell it would only perpetuate your sinful ways!
Came back from Omaha yesterday on a 757. Sure is a noisy piece of equipment.
While in Omaha I 'surveyed' the Warren Buffett property. I want to put to rest all this stuff about how Warren Buffet is 'living so simply' by still living in the same home where he probably grew up.
In 1952 as a 19 year old lad, I lived in an attic apartment at 35th & Farnam Street. There I had to share my breakfast food with the attic mice, while Warren lived comfortably 20 blocks to the west. I suspect that most of us would be pleased with a stately well built home of 7000+ square feet most of which was probably built in the 1920's
Warren Buffett certainly is a humble man, and we all know that it takes one to know one! <vbg>
But not everybody in Omaha remain so humble...read on.
Omaha World-Herald, Tuesday, November 28, 2000:
New Mansion taking shape. Under construction a 24,000 square-foot house is being built near Cunningham Lake for Walter and Suzanne Scott, the Omaha billionaire and chairman emeritus of Peter Kiewit Sons' Inc. This home is bordered to the west by a 9000-square-foot home buit for W. David Scott, Walter's son and the owner of Mega Corp.
The Scott Compound also includes a 8900-square-foot home of Dr. William Singer, son of Suzanne Scott, Singer's wife, Lynette.
