Bill Gates is my neighbor — but you're gonna have to click just below for proof

Even then you won't be sure.

We live in the world's most upscale subdivision, in ur-country.com (scroll down to "Citizens").

Bill's address is row 19, column 19; me, I chose to move in kitty-corner from him, at row 20, column 20 (above).

Already he's been by to borrow a cup of sugar.

Friendly guy.

Dennis Ringwood, the grand panjandrum of ur-country.com, emailed me late yesterday afternoon as follows:

    Hey Joe,

    Came across your blog and wanted to tell you about the Citizen links on
    www.ur-country.com.

    There is a current promotion for free links (for active countries) and it would be great to see you and other fellow bloggers there.

    Best regards
    Dennis Ringwood

Hey, make me an offer I can't refuse.

I sent him my now-iconic bookofjoe NanoIcon™ (below)

Bookofjoe_nano_logo

to put up at 20-20 and before you could say Bob's your uncle there it was near Bill's.

Tell you what — with RuleTheWorld last week and now this it looks like we're finally lighting this firecracker.

I wonder if Bill's gonna return the favor and see about acquiring property near me up by my Arctic Circle digs.

Better bring your mittens, is all I've got to say.
