I don't know about that. Had an elderly friend (assume he is deceased now,
was in his 80's and senile last I heard)in Austin who really fancied himself
as a ladies man. Oh the stories he told me! Of course he may well have
been lying. I have not been in TX since I was a kid and I don't think I was
ever in Austin.

He is the one who sent me a $500 bullet polisher. That's when I knew that
his senility had really kicked in. Angela and I were doing lapidary at the
time. He thought I could use the polisher to do rocks. Apparently there is
some guy in Austin who does that. And I could see doing it maybe if you
already had the polisher and didn't want to invest in a rock polisher but...
I already had a rock polisher and there was no way I was going to polish
that amount of anything in my garage in my little apartment in Alameda.
Thankfully the company that he had it shipped from did refund most of his
money. They did have a $50 restocking fee. I had no clue that he was going
to do that! He had mentioned the guy that he knew who did this and then the
next thing I knew, this big heavy box arrived. Eek!

Last time I heard from him, we were out doing Christmas shopping and I was
on my way home. He called my cell phone. I said I was driving and would
call him back as soon as I got home. That was about 5 minutes later. By
then he had forgotten who I was. I did mail him seasonal cards after that
and I assumed that if he were no longer with us, his son would have
contacted me, but he didn't and really I didn't check the obituaries.
Perhaps I should.
