Blair,

The rich are different, they have more money and usually find a way
to spend it! (on frivilous (sp) status symbols). Hey, if you've got
it flaunt it (by spending it).

As for me and my house on wheels, I'll keep my vintage 'Bird and
maintain it to the best of my meager ability and update it as time
and money allow . . . My parents lived through the depression in
railroad cars and one-room log cabins. Hardy folk made of stern
stuff.

Any of you out there enjoying a new LXi don't take offense. Chances
are you've earned your way to it. Just know that you probably don't
enjoy it any more than I do my old 'Bird!
