Hot Breakfast

So i was driving into class about twenty minutes ago, minding my own business, chewing some smokeless tobacco, trying not to think about the pile of work i have due later tonight...And i come to an abrupt stop at the intersection of shaffer road and the bee-line, between eat n park, ruby tuesday and the BK lounge. In front of me was a grid lock of cars that seemed to begin right out in front of perkins, and end at the middle of the intersection i was at. Having been in the same situation before, i though it was just a bunch of dumbass dubois drivers going full retard and not knowing how to drive when traffic is heavy. Now this is where to story takes a turn for the worse, i had to put more chew in for this part...I took a right at the intersection i was at and turned up onto the road that goes in between the k-mart plaza and the commons. I then proceeded to take a quick left onto the road that goes right behind BK perkins and the complex where H&R block is...That was when i discovered that the gridlock wasnt because a few shit-headed drives. I looked to my left and saw perkins, maker of my personal favorite waffle and hashbrown combo, burning to the ground in a wall of hellfire and damnation. Black smoke was bellowing out of the place and there were some flames that looks like they were coming from the kitchen, which leads me to believe that somebody left some pancakes on too long or something...Where does this tie into our tlpoatour blog might you ask? Well, put it this way. If you see Perkins owner Doug Jaggi, or if you're playing a round with him, i would probably advise you not to use the compliment "you're on fire"

  1. Scott and I were watching the blaze mid-action today. He had it queued up on the computer and was my first and sole informant. According to him, the roof caved in about 15 minutes before I began my afternoon shift. We watched the flames and couldn't help think of Jaggi. One of two things could result from this "accident". 1: He will sludge through the burden of rebuilding the one of many Perkins he owns, or 2: he says "fuck it" and better allocates his time away from that one particular restaurant and into more time on the TL golf courses. It could go either way. Knowing Jaggi, I'm sure he held a pretty insurance policy on that gem. I bet we'll be seeing lots more of him this season.
