I thought this was the Steve Fossett article and nothing about Obama??

Have I been commenting on the wrong article??

About the only thing Fossett did not do is land on the moon. If he could he would have.

I forgot one, sorry...

Authorities address rumors that Fossett fled for personal and financial reasons. Lyon County Under Sheriff Joe Sanford says they looked into the possibility, but he doesn''t think it''s possible. He says Fossett is too recognizable world wide to go unnoticed.

A spokesperson for Nevada Governor Jim Gibbons announces the governor will ask Peggy Fossett to pay $485,998 of the $685,998 costs of searching for her husband. Gibbons says it''s appropriate given the state''s $900 million budget shortfall. Fossett''s friend Barron Hilton contributed $200,000 toward the search.

Peggy Fossett says she will not reimburse the state of Nevada for the cost of searching for her husband.

As you can see, everything can be a clue, even the lack of evidence is a clue.

Slim I never held a gun to your head. I know you were kidding. Friends dont bury friends.

Here are some highlights from the timeline:
Sept. 3, 2007

Steve Fossett takes off alone in a single-engine plane to search for a location to break the land speed record. He leaves from the Flying M Ranch near Yerington, owned by his friend and hotel mogul Barron Hilton around 9 a.m. Fossett did not file a flight plan, but friends say he had planned to return by 12 p.m.

Sept. 19, 2007

Seventeen days after Fossett went missing, authorities scale back their search. The Nevada Civil Air Patrol and the National Guard suspend their search and vow only to fly when new leads come in. At this point the search teams have covered a search area twice the size of New Jersey and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Nov. 26, 2007

Attorney Michael A. LoVallo files a motion on behalf of Fossett''s wife Peggy to have Steve declared legally dead by an Illinois court. "As painful as it is for Mrs. Fossett, other members of the family and his many friends, it is time to initiate this process," LoVallo says. Court papers describe Fossett''s estate as "vast, surpassing eight figures in liquid assets, various entities and real estate."

Hey, you never know!

BTW, that was satire.

No I don''t really believe that he was a drug runner, but no one was asking about it. But the fact remains, he was carrying around quite a bit of cash. More than nessesary.

[meinnv]

Meant to say if he was that wealthy, not

"If we was that wealthy". Sorry about that error.

[meinnv]

In all honestly, I don''t see the problem either. We each have our preferences, but the amount of cash should be taken into consideration with an investigation. IT MIGHT HAVE A MEANING, IT MIGHT HAVE NO MEANING. Just something to consider.

I like to have minimal cash on hand for safety reasons. I only have $29 until I get paid next week, and most of it is going to be spent on groceries today. Some people prefer cash, some prefer credit.

I was only try to state that he might have not even be aware he had it, or didn''t want to leave it behind. But, to some $1005 isn''t that much, to someone like me, it would pay my rent.

I am sure the investigators will pay close attention to every clue, if the money is one then that is for them to determine.
