Was sitting here a little while ago, thinking, "You know? It's been forever since I've gone out for breakfast. I hardly ever eat out at all, in fact. Maybe I should go out for breakfast tomorrow, just for a change. There's a Hooters near here, isn't there? It's supposed to have a good breakfast; maybe I should give it a try."

"Or at least, therer was a Hooters over there six years ago, the last time I walked past. I've never been in it, and I wonder if it's still there?"

So I got onto the web to check out the Hooters site. And it told me I had to install Microsoft Silverlight in order to view the site. No thanks.

Fortunately, the restaurant locater page didn't require that. So I plugged in my zipcode, and it told me that the nearest location was Jantzen Beach. Which is hell-and-gone away from here. It sure as hell isn't walking distance.

Jantzen Beach is where I-5 crosses the Columbia River. Google Earth says it's 10 miles as the crow flies, but the crow would be flying over Forest Park and the West Hills. By road it's more like 15 miles.

Rats. Oh, well; I'm too old for that kind of thing anyway.

UPDATE: There was a pastry shop over in the SW corner of the Beaverton Mall last time I was there, but that was something like a year ago. I wonder if it's still there?
