    I gave him the benefit of the doubt by suggesting it was Melinda Gates but $100 billion is a $100 billion.

      Maybe you could run for mayor up there. I hear they love their mayors up in that neck of the woods.

          Bingo!


          One of the world’s most powerful and wealthiest couples have decided to call it quits… sending shock waves through the world of philanthropy. Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates and his wife Melinda Gates on Monday released a joint statement saying (quote):"After a great deal of thought and a lot of work on our relationship, we have made the decision to end our marriage.” They added, “We no longer believe we can grow together as a couple in the next phase of our lives. We ask for space and privacy for our family as we begin to navigate this new life.” The two, who have been married for 27 years, are co-chairs and trustees of their nonprofit Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which launched in the year 2000.The foundation – which focuses on public health - currently has over $51 billion in assets, according to a tax filing cited by CNBC, giving it vast influence and reach the world over. The couple have three children. The financial details of their decision to split were not immediately clear.But they said in their statement that they would both continue their work at the foundation.Gates dropped out of Harvard to co-found Microsoft, making him a billionaire many times over.Gates stepped down from the Microsoft board in March 2020 to focus on philanthropy. Their split comes two years after another billionaire - Amazon founder Jeff Bezos - said that he and his then-wife, MacKenzie, were getting divorced. MacKenzie Scott has since become one of the richest women in the world - and one of the most generous philanthropic donors.


          I'm gonna go woo Melinda!!! I still got it! I can turn on the old charm when motivated, and money motivates me!

                  It’s not bad on the outskirts of Seattle, mainly Seattle proper that’s so bad. Honestly you’d be surprised by how conservative most outliers are from the big city. I’d move there in a heartbeat if all our family and our family business wasn’t in Texas...

Then the real orders came in for Bremerton. Where in the heck is Bremerton, WA, says me? Well...they couldn't have put me in a better place. Back then WA wasn't liberal. Lots of hunting and fishing... and beauty.
                            It's probably still not liberal, once you get outside of Seattle. We went to Oregon some time back, no question the liberals are all over Portland like rats. But once you get out away from the liberal city, it's a very different story. They are far from liberal and hate liberals probably more than we do here. Because the liberals are making the laws they are supposed to abide by.

                            We just don't get to hear about life in the northwest other than the loonies in the two big liberal cities up there.

                                If it is health related I can certainly understand based on their laws.

                                Due to a recent health related issue I will not be able to help you put up the GOF tent this year.

                                Maybe I will see you in Seattle's
