If you're a furloughed state worker - and today is the second in what looks to be a long string of Furlough Fridays - you can take some of the pain out of the reduced salary by heading for West Sacramento, where IKEA's massive store off I-80 is offering a free breakfast of eggs, bacon and potatoes, to anyone who can prove they're a furloughed state worker (with your state ID card).

The breakfast is available from 9:30 to 11 a.m., today only. Buon appetito.

And while you're at it, you can pick up that plastic end table you've been coveting.
