For my Veterans' Day journey
on this trip around around the sun,
I wanted to do something different,
go somewhere I don't usually go,
see people I don't run into often if at all.
Right?
That is, after all, my goal for this month.
(smile!)
So, I went through the list of places wanting to give tribute
to veterans and made a game plan.
Then I started my round of restaurant hopping
way out southside, looking to work my way back
toward my neck of the woods as the day progressed.
That would accomplish one of the 3 R's as it would
reduce the amount of gas I would be using
as I bopped hither and yon.
(smile!)
That's how I ended up at Perkins, way out at 204 and 95,
a place not on my usual route to anywhere.
I have not been at a Perkins restaurant since 2013,
on one of my Daytona trips, when I'd been to
an overnight party in a nearby town.
And what was that at the end of the hall?
Could it be a knight in shining armor...
or some facsimile of the same...
coming to my emotional rescue???
Especially with this superhero standing right there,
waiting to start me up on this special day!
Or perhaps he's waiting for me to start him up?
That is a bicycle pedal in his chest, still attached to
the flywheel and chain, with the other pedal on his back.
I guess I would have to sit on his head, straddling his
bristle-brush Mohawk and holding his speaker ears!
Hahahaha! Hahaha!
most unlikely of places?
How had it come to be here?
Well, the desk clerk at The Savannah Hotel told me
the owner made all the art from items reclaimed from
the property during construction.
Say, hey!
There's another of the 3 R's: recycle!
Right place, right time.
And now, I need to move along!
I don't necessarily need to get out on the highway
like that speedboat-riding knight, but I do need to venture
back toward midtown after this little adventure.
That Magnificent Seven breakfast has left me with two
pancakes that I intend to reuse - the last of the 3 R's! -
as wraps for fried bologna.
Unlike spam, that meat lends itself well to curling!
I still have several slices of the thick-cut sausage, so it's
good to have a different foodstuff to eat with it.
Anywho, I gotta boot scoot on my way!
Later!
