Because its not a custard and raisin danish. It's a pain aux raisins, i

And about 40,000 of the words you could speak but probably don't use all of them are the same are similar (slightly different spelling) in French. Pronunciation is often difficult but not always. A perfect example is "raisin"

While he was president, there was a daily newsletter that published his nonsense utterances, such as "Don't cry for me Argentina"...

I always thought he was giving secret coded instructions to his CIA operatives around the world...

I hate how Sam gets profiled when he goes to pick up Ares's meds...

They actually told him there was no meds to pick up last night... I countered that over the phone, and told them what it was and when it was prescribed, and they magically found it. Sam said she was still really uncomfortable giving it to him...

Not the first time this has happened.

Wondering if I should lodge a complaint.

I guess I never got that newsletter. They didn't even have Twitter back in those days.

But are they really happy? Well, a few probably but...


A former client of mine, sadly, recently deceased, has/had two yachts moored in the South of France, next to each other.

One was fast, one was slow. He'd take the fast one down to St. Tropez, and have the other one follow because it was more comfortable. He'd have lunch in one of his restaurants there, then relax on the slow yacht for the day. Sometimes he'd stay overnight, sometimes not. But he'd take the fast yacht back to home port.

The captains would hand out thousands to get the best berths in St. Tropez. He literally used the yachts like his taxi.

He would do the same to his house in Portofino, but that was usually a week or so trip.

His recent passing made global headlines, to give an idea of the dosh. But to be fair, his tax contributions to the local economy literally changed the small port town he lived in. He created public parks, golf and tennis courts, a horse riding club, gym facilities, all well maintained, fully staffed with great summer programs for the kids; further works improved the roads, sidewalks, public beaches and walking/hiking paths; he bought a disused old church and turned it into a public museum, etc. He literally contributed so much to the local economy that they no longer charge for public parking anywhere, it's all free, all year round.

That's how you're supposed to 'trillionaire'.
