I was thinking the same thing. I guess it's a 24 hour operation. They must be having trouble. They closed one over here that had only been open about a year or so as part of a new mega gas-convenience store. It sat empty for a while, but I think an independent outfit is moving in now.

One of my new friends at

One of my new friends at cardiac therapy used to be a Waffle House waitress. I now have a whole new respect for these oft-maligned individuals. She tells some stories that make our workouts more fun.

One of them involves the heart-healthy nature of their waffles, lots of eggs and half and half, an upgrade from their old recipe that used real cream.
