Dad tells me about remembering $.05 ea. & 6 for a quarter.
I believe the first ones I remember were 19 cents. Early 60'sDad tells me about remembering $.05 ea. & 6 for a quarter.
Just remembered about the pay toilets they had. Cost you a dime to sit.
I remember this written on the stall wall at 7th & Broadway.
"Here I sit broken hearted. Paid my dime and only farted."
12¢ burgers. 17¢ cheeseburgers? Long time ago. About a million beers.
Oh and yeah, it's Friday night!
78°➫ 103°F Partly cloudy, hot, dry.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 75°F. We might possibly remain under triple-digit temperatures today. Could hit 98°F or 99°F. 80% chance of precious rain predicted for Monday.
Chores and grass-mowing on the agenda before kickoff today.
Y'all behave.

Good morning from Home. Weather report, Low 72 and high of 90 with 40% chance of rain.Currently 80.
Well it is finally here and I am set up. I expect our team will be ready and will be disappointed if they are not.
Should be good weather and I would hope for a full stadium but I see where that may not happen. Since I am old school my picture for today is a former All American Rodger Bird. If we play as hard as he did we win going away. Let's go Cats

Good morning, the D. Can’t watch another minute of the fawning over the late John McCain. The man was absolutely an American hero. But lets get real here. All of this coverage is a way of sticking it to President Trump, pure and simple. If Lindsay Graham (my senator) passed on tomorrow, would he get this coverage? Not no, but hell no. He too served in the military. He too ran for President. He too was on the receiving end of a Trump barb or two. But McCain was virulently anti-Trump and thus, we get today’s wailing and gnashing of teeth.
I will get off my soapbox now. Funny thing is... I didn’t vote for Donald Trump. But I am an American first, and I can see hatred with my own eyes.

- Good Morning, D-Leagueanites and Lurkers.
- 81º already in Johns Creek. Pretty morning. A few clouds up there.
- 2nd mus of Dark Magic going.
- 60s playing. Love songs. Protest songs.
- The best part. Finally we have game day. Kickoff at 3:30 on ESPNU I think.
- Western was not ready for the big boys last night. San Diego State got Stanford's attention, but didn't win. MSU got a scare, but pulled their game out of the fire.
- Very glad that CFB is finally here.
- Glad that Sawnee Cat feels well enough to like and post. Hang in there little brother and get well.
- Be safe around the idmo drivers today.
- Otherwise, as you were. Carry on.
- Warrior, thanks for the picture of your precious grand babies. Ours are 4 boys and 1 little girl. They are 26, 25, 24, 22, & 17.
Mel Carter from Cincinnati. One of my favorite old songs. Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me.
7th and Berry is the location I'm talking about when I remember White Castle from back in the day. Across the street from the Thoroughbred Club. Horses were not involved, contrary to what my father told inquisitive me.
Mornin' D. Trying to get enthusiastic about the Cats playing a Directional school to kick off a season where I'd put the over-under on conference wins at 3. Maybe the last 50 or so seasons have just made me cynical. Someone please tell me I'm wrong this time.
The game I'm looking forward to is ND-Michigan. Somewhere deep in childhood and I absolutely can't remember why, I started rooting against Notre Dame, and it has become one of those obsessions that I can't explain but is very real. I don't much care for Harbaugh or Michigan either but will be rooting tonight.

I'm going out to the shop to finish boxing in the table. Only 3 small slats to go. That place is like a time machine that takes me into the future. I think I've been out there for an hour and 3 hours have gone by. It's all relative, so I hear.
Looking for a blowout today. Heard yesterday that their two safeties are both freshmen. One a redshirt and the other a true. Said they were the weakest link in their defense. Couple that with Wilson's deep ball threat and things could get ugly, or as I like to think, exciting.
See you's all around game time. Go Big Blue!

I seem to remember Griff's as the under 20 cents hamburger in Paducah. This was before McDonald's came in. DQ sold their HBs for 25 & 30 cents. I don't remember what the fries were.

Back in the 60’s, there was a burger chain in TN that sold burgers for 20 cents and cheeseburgers for 25. Just can’t remember the name!
And to add to my age, I remember when KFC sold hamburgers.

Fishing report for today: Warrior-cat and friend 5-Large Mouths 2. Snakes 1- Warrior-cat 1. One got hooked on my lure as I dragged it over the pond grass (pictured below) and the other was latched on to one of the bass on the stringer but it got away as I was pulling it out of the water.

You are just a pup.
Triple Triangle & McDonalds both had 15¢ burgers.
Is this museum (TVRM) where @GhostVol took Princess Hurricane? Papa Ghost be needing track shoes to keep up soon.
Princess Anna was at the museum in Savannah, GA. She is due for more during her next break from kindergarten. I’m loving the fact that a little girl loves trains!Triple Triangle & McDonalds both had 15¢ burgers.

I played against Rodger in high school. He graduated HS (Corbin) the same year I did ('61) He was well-known back then. Although we (MHS) won our conference (which included Corbin) in '60, we never beat Corbin. They were the powerhouse in our conference of small mountain schools.
Middlesboro had a population of 14K in my day. It was 9600 last census. A mountain town on the skid. MHS used to be competitive in football on a state level. They are pretty much a doormat in recent years.

I think of her more often than you probably realize. Always brings the joy of a smile to my hard old face.

Thanks for sharing her blessings.
It is possible you are recalling Burger Chef, Ghost. They started out with 15-cent burgers, which they upped to 20 when I was a kid ( that put them out of my family's comfort zone at the time.) They were everywhere, rivaled McDonalds, then vanished.

It appears to have met a sad demise/
Burger Chef made a good burger. So did Burger King - back in the day. I threw away half of the last Whopper I tried to eat a few years back.
Burger Chef met the same sad fate as other once-great chains. So successful that a huge conglomerate (General Foods) bought them out. GF then sold them off to Hardees who screwed them up. Rinse and repeat (see KFC eg) for almost all the once-great fast food and restaurant chains.

That's true Chief, and a decent chocolate shake. As for Burger King, in recent years I've gone exactly once a year for the last few years - we stop there in June when the family drives to Kentucky on Fathers Day weekend. When you have one Double Whopper with cheese and everything a year, it's damn delicious.Burger Chef made a good burger. So did Burger King - back in the day.

I don't think there is any doubt that the quality can vary greatly from one store to the other.
Hello y'all.
Little bit is 12 today. She's saved, makes straight A's, taught herself how to play the guitar, and fun to be around. What a blessing! Honored that I have been entrusted to be her Dad. FCC.

My theory on the ruination of once-great food chains:
1 An entrepreneur comes up with a great idea/menu.
2 With the success of the first, a chain is developed
3 The chain is so successful that a conglomerate buys the chain
4 The bean counters, seeking to maximize profits, begin to find ways to cheapen the product and ruin the taste (often to the dismay of original owners-see Colonel Sanders).
5 The product declines so much (becoming almost inedible) that people stop buying it
6 They decide to improve the product to one step better than inedible and thus some people come back ...
And that is where the product remains. Just slightly better than inedible.
This is the sad story of the decline of fast food quality.

Hey Rooster. The word down my way has it that White Castle is coming to Scottsdale next year. Have you heard that?
Make her into a mole killer and you've achieved perfection.
You are correct, sir. Thank you!
This is KFC
