Breakfast Revolt

After a week of Waffles, all day, every day, the mania has passed from Edna. She has tripled the price, hoping to discourage anyone from ordering them ever again.

Aaaaand…we’re back.

The past thirty six hours has been quite a hot mess, resulting in most of the town being without some combination of electricity, fuel, or internet since Sunday.
