I'm disappointed in how many of my neighbors and friends have no interest in getting it, even if it's free. #Florida

bsky really needs a "do not like" button.

sorry it cost so much, but glad you were able to get it!

Who knows what will happen if the CDC panel decides on Friday to further restrict access? I've been urging everyone to go get it now, while they still can!

Dearest Martha,

The National Guard stand solemn watch at the Krispy Kreme tonight. I cannot tell if they defend the people from the donuts, or the donuts from the people. Powdered sugar hangs in the air like cannon smoke. Jensen took a hot coffee to the face, he may never recover.

Yours in glaze,
