They oft cite a cliché about a particular repeating occurrence being tied to something in the local water. Could be disease. Could be smart kids. Whatever.
Recent past has produced some news that might be trending in that direction. Area in question is the exurbs of leafy NW city called Seattle.
Think Amazon.com and think Microsoft.
Large corporate titans both. Run by founders who live local. Bezos and Gates.
Both incredibly wealthy. Both are philanthropist and more than one can ever imagine but they do have their share of pissing contests.
Now both these titans of industry divorced. Something in that water alright.
What I found oddly humorous (aside from the fact that perhaps a break up from a long marriage of potentially good synergy cannot be easy) is the comment Gates' apparently shared with the media - on what else - Twitter..
"We ask for privacy and space for our family in these times where we adjust to the new way" or some such.
And I am thinking - the next headline would read - Bill just bought the state of Montana and paid out the fifteen people to leave that called this state home, and Melinda did the same with Wyoming.
There - plenty of space to breathe, think or ponder their next phase in life. Really? Need space?
