Billg's House

So I'm driving from Seattle to the Eastside on the 520 bridge tonight and from the edge of the Arboretum I can see some houses lit in Christmas lights across Lake Washington. I love me some Christmas lights!

As I get closer I recognize, realize and remember that it's not a few houses that are lit, but many and all of Bill Gates' homes and additional structures.

I'm sure Bill was out, stringing lights on his roof last weekend. He probably has a clause in his life insurance policy that excludes daily household chores (hazardous fumes and all), backyard maintenance (power tools) and of course mounting large structures to apply festive decorations.

The reflection of Bill's Bellevue Villa reflects beautifully off the lake and gives the aliens on Mars an ideal bulls-eye.
