    Warren Buffet, the CEO of Birkshire Hathaway, and one of the richest men in the country, used to drive around in a ten-year-old car and dress like a regular Joe. No ostentation for him.

      I wear tennis shorts and polo shirts year round. I'm always hot. I only wear three piece suits when I have to go to court. Some of my clients don't recognize me when I'm in a suit.

      I came from England when I was 8. At the time, boys wore short pants until they were 14. My school uniform was grey wool shorts, white shirt and St. Andrews' tie and a maroon blazer.

      In America, when I was allowed to wear long pants at 8, I felt like I had stolen something. Now I am in my 60's and I'm back in short pants.

          My father used to tell me:

          "There are a whole lot of people in this world who don't have anything better to do than to mind other people's business for them."

          I always try to treat people like people regardless of age, race, appearance etc.

          I'll admit to shaking my head at some peoples' choice in attire (the guys with their pants halfway down or the chubby girls in tight stretchy outfits with their bellies showing come to mind.)

          It certainly doesn't effect me at all though.

            Cab,

            It was miserable at Fort Campbell. We used very heavy starch on our fatigues. One would sweat through them at morning formation. I most remember when it was 100 degrees and humid at midnight. No A/C in the barracks.
