THEME: GATES (Post #26; Day #25)
GATES - Bill Gates, that is! This plaque sits at the corner of California and Linn, near the State Fairgrounds in Albuquerque. This is the location where Bill Gates and Paul Allen started Microsoft. I know, this probably isn't in the true spirit of the theme "Gates," but I couldn't help myself!

ReplyDeleteExcellent take on the Gates theme.
ReplyDeleteThat is a very inventive interpretation. I'd never heard they started in Albequerque.
ReplyDeletevery creative "Gates" interpretation.
ReplyDeleteNice interpretation Linda!
ReplyDeleteIt's a great interpretation of the theme, and I had no idea they ever left this area to start Microsoft.
ReplyDeleteMany, many years ago I worked myself through college cleaning swimming pools during the summer in Seattle. One day my boss told me I was to start cleaning Gate's pool. I asked who he was. "He's the CEO of Microsoft." I asked what was Microsoft. "The largest makers of software." I asked what software was.
I just dated myself.
Steven, what a great story! Be sure to pass it along to your kids and grandkids.
