Joe, I would have said that if the Waffle House is closed it's the end of times apocalypse happening.

There have been times, in the wee hours, when getting a pecan waffle in my belly was an emergency. Glad to see that they're sensitive to that need.

FYI Twenty or more years ago, Burt Rutan (of around the world flying fame and inventor) was giving an early model Prius by Toyota. They told him to keep it and drive it like he owned it, wanting only his feedback. He liked the Prius, but said Toyota had the ICE-Electric balance wrong. He said put in a much smaller ICE engine (heck, I think then they already made only 70 HP or something) and use that engine to only recharge the batteries when necessary. There would be no need for complicated interfacing and transmissions. The weight saved could either improve milage outright, or could be used for additional battery capacity. On long trips, you might need to pull off the road and recharge, but at least you had the confidence that you could still continue if the batteries ran short.
It sounds as if SCOUT heard him, whether or not Toyota did.
