Me: shows this picture and the restaurant one to husband and makes snarking noises

Husband: Can you blame them? I mean, what else does Forks have?

Me: Gateway to the Hoh Rain Forest? ...OK, you have a point.

Husband: Face it, Bella is a giant cash cow, and they're milking her for all she's worth. ::makes milking gestures:: Moooooo....

Me: Hard to blame them, I agree.

Husband: A giant cash cow that sparkles in the sunlight. And you know why it sparkles? Because it's made of PURE GOLD.

There are kids from the Forks high school selling their letterman's jackets to pay for college.

Heh. On one level, that's depressing...but OTOH, most letter jackets just end up collecting dust in parental attics, so more power to the Forks kids for getting something for theirs.

Yeah, at first it sort of creeped me out that someone would trade such an important symbol of their personal history for a mere fistful of dollars, but if they can get enough money for it to make a real difference, and they actually do use the money to invest in their own future, that seems like a reasonable choice.
