Bonus trivia question today: Stonekettle posted today on Bluesky:
quote:I miss the days when billionaires disappeared from public view and spent their lives holed up in a Las Vegas casino collecting their pee in jars.
and I replied
quote:Same, and I am old enough to know who and what this refers to. Bonus question for the old-timers. Who got arrested for writing a fake book about the billionaire?
So, for two points, who was the billionaire? and who wrote the book? Oh, and what kind of book did it purport to be? I guess that is 3 points.

Thanks. Oh, and it might be snowing the day we arrive home, and we have a friend over 80 picking us up! In a car with over 200,000 miles. Luckily it is a Toyota Highlander, same kind we drive down in Texas. I guess I better suggest Bigdog drive us home if it is snowing.
