IMHO, Richard is, and always has been a straight shooter. If he says it, he
means it.

It is always possible that he had intended to put a smiley on it, but this
time, I doubt it.

Hey, I resemble that remark... For me one of the signs of being over
the hill was going to the motorcycle dealership and asking for a part
for my XS11 and the guy behind the counter asks "what's an XS11.)

Or when someone asks if Paul Mcartney was in a group back in the 1960s.

I once told this sweet young thing at a party that I felt like out of
place like the Steely Dan song Hey 19. She asked who's Steely Dan...
Needless to say it wasn't an enjoyable evening.

Hughes Electronics has a fleet of them operational at Van Nuys Airport,
California. They even have a C.O.D. version of sorts, complete with
passenger windows. They come in and land, then utilize drogue chutes
after touchdown. They're based out of the old Volpar building by the
looks of it.

I first realized that I was getting old when I was flirting with one
attractive receptionist at a clients office and he ask how old I was.
Now she was in her early twenties and had just turned 40. I told her
my age and her eyes got real wide and she exclaimed: "Wow, you are the
same age as my daddy"!

As a kid, I remember checking out a VIP Transport A-3 at Andrews. It had
leather seats!!
