The fruitcakes from the Collin Street Bakery are definitely not gluten free or sugar free. They have been one of my favorite holiday treats for the last 20 years or so. Fortunately, they are now sold in the local supermarkets during the holidays so I don’t have to pay for shipping.
That story line will probably continue next week. We’re heading into yet another week of reruns. 11 weeks of reruns is a lot of reruns — and we’re only in October so there’s room for more before the year ends.
The original strip on the site (see September 27, 2018) is lighter in color. Makes me wonder who or what handles the image upload for some of these perpetual rerun comics. There are other rerun comics on-site that don’t have this problem (Cleats, Inkpen and The Norm are examples).
Reine is having lunch with Maria Elena, one of her long-time friends. Maria Elena and Norm never dated. IIRC, we last saw Maria Elena on March 27. In the current Norm 1.0 rerun, she was introduced back at the end of June 2022.
Allstate once stopped my homeowner’s insurance 2 weeks after it started — no warning, just a letter saying that they were dropping my house in a couple of weeks. I had to call the insurance agent to find out why they were dropping me. It was due to overgrown bushes. I was able to get a crew out to the house and cut back the vegetation and they reinstated the policy. I’ve since dropped them because their roof coverage is useless.
The ones I’ve gone to used to have a multi-pass option, but I never tried that since a single bowl was sufficient for me (and I always bring it home to eat now). That option probably died in the pandemic and I haven’t noticed because I never order it.
