We end up at the Dunkin Drive Thru once a week for ltc's treat day, but I did like the occasional Krispy Kreme. There is a local place here where the donuts are absolutely fucking amazing that we have delivered along with lunch every once in a while, and my all time favorite donut shop is in RI near Mom's. You have to get up early and get there because they close the minute they sell out of donuts, and they always sell out of them.
I swear, one of these times, you're gonna wake up in a coma.

I don't love donuts in general and have no brand loyalty to Dunkin v Krispy Kreme, but I am generally supportive of bribing people into rewarding people for good public health practices with free pastries.

Thanks everyone—I found the case about 5 minutes ago, so the -ma worked!

When I was a kid, in the autumn we'd go up to a local orchard/farm. It would be cold and we'd get their fresh-pressed cider and donuts fresh out of the fryer ... they may not have had any glaze or anything on them, but I remember the cold air, cold cider and hot donuts fondly.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hot cider donuts are pretty much the only donuts I bother with. YUM.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
(makes "I miss Top Pot" noises) The nearest place that has good donuts is off-island.
8 am on a rainy day is apparently the Right Time to operate a chainsaw. Person, why?

If they're near the window in the office when Jim's meeting starts, they won't have long to wait.
Really, though, they could strap some salmon to their arms and legs and jump in the Sound - if the hypothermia doesn't do it, an orca will be along to go "om nom nom nom fish".

Hopefully there are enough llamas reading their emails to justify the effort.
I was spoiled early on by Country Boy Bakery, a local concern with two locations that had amazing cake and blueberry-filled doughnuts. I also discovered in college that they made the best-ever steamed roast beef sandwiches on fresh croissant buns. Unfortunately the owner retired and sold the building/land rather than the business when she felt it got to be to much for her. But I suppose that's better than someone else taking over and the business declining.
