I like ol' Waffle House for some reason. It is not the epitome of fine dining, but has a reliable diner vibe all its own, ever since I was a kid. Of course, some locations, especially if patronized at late hours, cause me to feel the need to dine with Mr. .38, but in a respectable location at civilized hours I get a kick out of dining there, especially for breakfast.
We're excited to have a new Waffle House to open over on the I-35 access road not too far from us, within mere days now! No .38s required!

··Home For Wayward WatchesThanks for that explanation @noelekal. I’d never heard of Waffle House (over here waffle means nattering on about nothing very much) and I’d assumed that @Mad Dog ’s watch was just another ‘Relax’ homage watches.
Well, “two nations separated by a common language” 😬

·Yes. We were not issued watches when we entered U.S. Navy pilot training in late 1986…so I went to the NAS Whiting Field Navy Exchange and purchased the Seiko 6309-7049 during primary pilot training…I consider it my first watch as an aviator.

·Learning to tell time required an additional 9 months of intensive training for Navy personnel.
From what I remember, the current Sec Nav at the time was John Lehman. I know that he brought back our issued leather G-1 flight jackets…as well as brown shoes. This may have had something to do with money cuts elsewhere…as in the non issuance of watches. I know that I have flown with pilots at Delta who preceded me by several years regarding Navy service and they were issued watches.
