Oh, I’ve been farming the rat trap trucks. I’ve got a little designated area for them. ---

That’s great if you need donuts quick (or, if you’re hitting the maximum cash amount), but you get a much better bang-for-your-buck farming Kwik-E-Marts. ---

OK, Kwik E Mart farming it is. I also now see that Old Man Winter is a new character and not a skin for Abe Simpson. ---

I wonder sometimes if they make it all bloaty and buggy (bart screen) so people will stop playing so they can let it die. They can’t justify turning it off because enough people play and pay for donuts. Also, is the snow heavier this year than in years past? ---

Wow, how are these for stats? > As of December 4, 2022, **738 episodes** of The Simpsons have aired, currently in its thirty-fourth season. The show holds several American television longevity records. It is the longest-running primetime animated series and longest-running sitcom in the United States. ---

That’s an impressive run. I just go the Outlands Factory and it disappears and reappears during gameplay. It doesn’t affect the income generation, but it’s weird nonetheless. ---

I just discovered that Maggie has a 4 hour “celebrate like it’s 1897” task that is worth $636 and 45 XP. ---

Sounds like Prairie Maggie. But, looking at my favorite source of TSTO info ([https://tstoaddicts.com](https://tstoaddicts.com)), I don’t see that in her list of tasks. I’ll have to take a look… OK, I see it under Maggie, not Prairie or Outlands or… let me dig more… Looks like it came from the [Poochies Dog Dayz](https://tstoaddicts.com/2018/07/11/in-game-update-new-mini-event-poochies-dog-dayz/) event. Not sure why 1879, but… ---

If you read closely, you’ll see that the event says that Maggie gets this because of _The Simpsons_ 636th episode. Episode 636 featured a gunfight between Maggie and _Gunsmoke_’s Marshall Dillon. _Gunsmoke_ is set in the 1870s. Episode 636 is when _The Simpsons_ passed GS as the most # of episodes for an American prime-time TV show: > **[Forgive and Regret](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forgive_and_Regret)** > > "Forgive and Regret" is the eighteenth episode of the twenty-ninth season of the American animated television series The Simpsons, and the 636th episode of the series overall. It aired in the United States on Fox on April 29, 2018. The title is a play on "forgive and forget". The episode deals with the relationship between Homer and Grampa hitting rock bottom once again, the result of a secret that the latter held from his son. > As of this episode, The Simpsons surpassed Gunsmoke to become the lo... ---

I cleared out the Xmas mystery box and I’m a little nervous for next year, should the game still be up. Not a lot of Xmas stuff I don’t already have. I did really like the extra facades this year ---

I am amused that the 10 Commandments cost 777 donuts. It has a 7% bonus to boot. I might get that, I’m at 503 right now though. ---
