@DoomsdaysCW well isn't that just the err cherry on top. Or not, I guess, since there aren't any cherries.

@jmcrookston I saw some at the store today. But yeah. I always look forward to eating fresh cherries when they are in season. We have some wild ones here in Maine, but they aren't as big or juicy (and I like to save those for the critters in the neighborhood. The birds love them!)
