So…one of the local “haunts” (I use that term really loosely)…but it’s a solid choice for breakfast when I don’t feel like fixing something here (oh yeah, real tough to put cereal in a bowl…especially since I don’t even add milk!).

I always seem to drop utensils here (nowhere else though…weird); almost hit an elderly couple with a fork one day when I went to pick it up. It literally jumped out of my hand and flew toward the other table, managing to fall short by about a foot. I felt really bad, but the look on everyone’s face was priceless (yes, everyone melds together into a single face…kinda like the police uniforms in A Scanner Darkly…strange stuff). Another time I managed to drop a half-dozen forks in under 5 minutes (I know, I’m talented)…the waitress finally brought a pile of forks for me (I wish I had a pic of the fork pile). If only she were single…*sigh*

Well…no funny or weird or terrible bathroom stories here. They do have a standard non-industrial toilet in the stall which I always thought was kind of odd (it’s not like they’re serving chili beans and curry…hmm…come to think of it, they do serve chili…and ortegas…hmm…think they should switch over). My theory is that the mostly older regulars feel more comfortable with a homey standard toilet (they do have a urinal though, so maybe that theory just sucks lol). Previous experience leads me to believe they really should put an industrial-strength toilet in (they do a really great job of keeping it clean, though). The bathroom is really bright, too…I’d go so far as to say warm…not quite cheery, but only because the walls are in a dull pale yellow, and that doesn’t really scream “cheery!” to me.

Anyway, here’s some photos…notice that as a whole everything is pretty clean. There’s very little graffiti at all, I think one note about how terrible Republicans are or what they should order off the menu (well, I’m at least 93% sure it’s not on the menu…)

After a while, you’ll be familiar with this set of images …the first is the restroom upon entering, the second is the urinal of choice (as you can tell in the first pic, there’s not much choice in this case…it’s urinal or stall), and the last is my feet (I really hope they’re mine ). I dunno why, I just thought it was funny (and potentially entertaining).

So this restroom gets 3 rolls, because while it is clean, I still think they should put in an industrial-strength toilet, and the restroom is just average. There are some pretty crazy restrooms out there…but it’s been a while since I’ve been to ‘em…so I gotta get back there! They can gain half a point for putting in an industrial-strength toilet, so here’s hopin!
