Oh, you're rich by about anyone's definition.


In all ways except money...


Bull. You're bringing in enough to provide for the care and feeding of
a wife, two kids, a hangared Pathfinder, five cars, a Gold Wing, a
house, and a hotel. And you talk about buying a place with enough land
for your own airport.


I've always thought of "rich" as meaning that, if I stopped cranking,
the world would continue to turn. Sounds like Jay is doing okay, but
if he stopped cranking, his world would come to a screeching halt
pretty quick, so I can see why that doesn't feel like "rich" to him.

In some statistical sense, everybody on this newsgroup is rich --
certainly making far above the median worldwide income, for example.
