Wow! To think that all that work went unnoticed for so long.

I don't know if this is pulitzer winning stuff, but this makes me wonder how many closet geniuses there are out there.

There was a time long ago, anyone of means dressed well, even if their means was small. Even street beggars and panhandlers dressed well as evidenced by the blind man photographed in the 1950s era above here. Today, everyone dresses almost the same as far as I can tell. Most of the people of means today do not dress well. Although some still do. I don't know what that means, but I've noticed it the past 30 years in the RV and leisure coach circles that I run in and with. To me, it is evidence of prosperity run it's course. Everyone has a cell phone, big screen TV and of course cable or satellite dish. The last two beggars that approached me were groomed/dressed better than I, one was driving a newer vehicle than me, and both had cell phones.

^^ You'd like France, esp. Paris - even the indigent dress well.
