    Oh! Thank you!

    I thought it was some sort of funky donut. A donut is like a small round cake, usually had for breakfast..

    Ahh, ok. From Wikipedia:
    It sounds exactly like Greek gyros (pronounced GHEE-ros) in the States. I think gyros is also where the term "hero sandwich" originates from.

    Donuts are fried dough, in the same shape as a bagel. Ship's captains used to put them on the spokes of the wheel so they could eat them while piloting the ship, which is the reason for the center hole.

    We have thousands of donut shops here in the U.S. they serve coffee and donuts. Here donuts are eaten for breakfast. We call the jam donut, a jelly donut. They cover it with powder, making it damn near impossible not to wear it.

    Actually, no. I don't really care much for donuts.

    They are traditional cop food though :)
    In one adjoining town, there's a Dunkin Donuts (a franchise brand) on one of the main streets, about 4 blocks down from the fire station. The fire station doesn't have its own turning lane, neither does the MacDonald's in between, but the Dunkin Donuts does! And there is nearly always a police car in the parking lot or the drive through.

    Ahh, down toward the Cape.

    Man, can you believe that guy who rolled the fuel tanker is getting off with just a speeding ticket? I'd have thought Reckless Endangerment at least, speeding with 9000 gallons of gasoline in the back!

    I usually settle for a mug of coffee while on the drive to work, and then a carton of juice when I get there.

    But my idea of a breakfast is Eggs Benedict with a side of Potatoes O'Brien. I don't often have a chance to indulge in it though.

    They should throw the book at him. He is so lucky no one was injured or killed. Could you imagine seeing all that gas pouring out, coming towards your house, and then catching on fire?

    I'm not a big breakfast fan, probably because I'm allergic to eggs.

    I live right between the Cape and Boston. Did you get a lot of snow the other day? I got about an inch, or just less than.

    Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. Primarily because I love eggs and bacon.
