This only confirms what my late wife and I learned during our visit to Omaha for the 2000 annual meeting.

We had dinner at Gorat's, during which I enjoyed a brief conversation with Mr. Buffett (me leaving the restroom, he on his way in).

Me: "Mr. Buffett."

Mr. Buffett: "Good to see you."

Later, as we lingered outside the restaurant in the soft spring evening (delicious stuff for a couple of Alaskans still thawing out), an SUV pulled up to the entrance. This was noticed by two teenaged skateboarders we had been watching. The restaurant door opened, and the man himself emerged. One of the daredevils lifted his head and nodded to his pal:

Skateboarder One: "That's Warren Buffett."

Skateboarder Two: "Dude's got some dough."
