Secrets

Still we don't get to learn how much Jarah sold Famous for. It lists how much others got for their site but when it gets to Jarah, nothin'. The price Famous sold for is a more garded secret then where Kopi goes to get his "hair" adjusted.

...this could get interesting.

Okay, the donald is going to come to town and make a world class (what is that exactly? caddies who speak many different languages? financial exchanges done in euros? WHAT?)
-anyway, a 'world-class,' PGA golf hoosie...

-And, Jarah has, after doing NYU, built this, and sold it in record time to McGlitchy (hey, how many PERSONAL messages have you really received, (and that little ad in the top left that's going to announce the winner of a contest at a sporting event in, um,,, late April...)
---But udder-n-dat, --This is a (perceived) rags to ritches Horatiette Alger (sorry you literary types, had to do it,) story, ---where the heroine schelps East to go to the best Biz School (Grad. Level,) in the US...

So it makes Forbes.

What is Forbes?
...A lot of folks may not know who the Forbes are... (Malcolm (rest in peace,) the late squire of such greats as Liz Taylor,
---and a man who, near and dear to my heart, had an entire garage full of completely tuned and gassed up Harley-Davidson Road Bikes ready to go at a moments notice,
---so that he could make a few phone calls and at any time of the day or night embark with his own biker run, (just add butts in saddles, he did this all the time...)

Second fun fact?
Mr. Forbes had a converted (DC-9, (think it was a nine, I don't think it was a 727) painted gold, lettered 'Capitalist Tool,' on the side.
-and yes, the man understood the double meaning, (heck, he was a biker and refined humor takes its many forms with scooter-types.)

---All of this was happening in the 70's forward up to the days that Mr. Forbes died. (pre-computer, pre-celphone, etc. etc.)

His Son? (an-body remember his son?) Not exactly photogenic, but who made a pretty serious run for the presidency not all that long ago...

The Donald, the Forbes, -and a lot of other names are active dynasties (Forbes is all over E. Coast, mostly in Cen-North Jersey.) -and if Fresneaux Famosimo is on on Forbes' radar?
-With Dr. Trumpenstein's FrankenHorse? also in the daily blah?

Things be happening, Mable.
-Some rather pricey outsiders (with strong political leanings,) are going to become involved with the 'no...

And yes, they do have enough money and pull to throw a dome on the place, purify what we breathe, and air-condition the whole joint all at once...
(Not sayin' they'll do it, but they could...)
-We're talking about adding a fake waterway downtown...
-These guys make water wherever they go, frequently do, and once that territory is marked... own it.

'...the tiiiiimes, they are a changinnnn'

Two out of Three Ain't Bad

They spelled Fresno correctly the other two times it was mentioned in the article.
Wasn't Frenso the name of the boy in the animated show "Reboot " ;)

unfortunately forbes fudged "Fresno"

"Jarah Euston, a former fixed-income analyst for Bank of America who sold Frenso Famous and Modesto Famous to McClatchy, acknowledges"
