patron,

You know he was NOT doing em when he was old. Germs and stuff <g>

He built that big house in Vegas for his "wife" and she never visited it. She stayed in Clownifornia.

If you are as interested in Hughes as I am, then you would really like this book.

'Not quite sure how we got off on this tangent, fascinating though it is.....<G>'

Yeah talk here is about anything but the housing bubble until we get another smoking gun to fascinate about.. MERS has been around as trustee since 1998 doing their thing...

More interesting to talk about HH, his life and women...Was he a lefty? lol
