Another Sunday is over
It was not a fun day at work … it was a slow and a boring day! But by doing bits, the day passed by anyway!!! I went home about an hour early before my mid-shift ended. My colleague, Zefhr, can handle stuff by herself and did not really need another person. Working with Greg in the morning was more fun …. probably he can talk more on realistic topics! Afterall he is a soon-to-be politician!!!
Sharing a local news today ….
The Idaho billionaire passed away in his downtown Boise home Sunday morning – with the call coming into police dispatch just before 11 a.m. He was 99. Simplot died of natural causes, according to Ada County Coroner Erwin Sonnenberg. His family is expected to make a statement at a later date. Simplot and his family were ranked at No. 80 on Forbes magazine’s 2006 list of richest Americans, with an estimated wealth of $3.2 billion. The potato billionaire’s life started humbly — but his death comes with his name on the list of the world’s richest men. John Richard Simplot’s legacy is closely tied in with the image of the potato state over the past nearly hundred years.
