I have "trained myself to be super observant".
One thing I remember when living in the Aspen area for 12 years....no matter what a "rich" person is wearing above his or her ankles...THEY WILL ALWAYS HAVE THE VERY BEST SHOES MONEY CAN BUY!
THEY WILL ALWAYS TAKE CARE OF THEIR FEET!
I remember seeing the author, Leon Uris (Exodis & others)...sitting next to my table at Pour Le France one morn...sipping on our Lattes.
He had a holey, baggy pair of jeans...T-shirt and rageddy jacket BUT on his feet were a $2,000 pair of hiking boots.
If you think back to the "OJ trial" remember OJ was wearing a paid of "Bruno Mahli" shoes!
This observation has served me well in my adventures. Many times over the years I paid more attention to the person I was talking to and "knew" where he was coming from...if he was wearing a paif of Tony Lama cowboy boots...or other expensive footwear...no matter what they were wearing above their ankles.
This might help you someday.
