Cheddar's Restaurant

In the early 80's when I was a young teenager, our parents would drop us off at Six Flags Over Texas for the day, but our finances were limited. Unable to play both video games and eat, the choice was a no brainer. Of course, Pacman, Donkey Kong, and Galaga always won.

That is, until a friend discovered Cheddar's, which opened in 1978 directly across from the entrance to Six Flags. Instead of the expensive food in the amuzement park, we would get our hands stamped with a reentry permit and walk down to Cheddar's for our lunch or dinner, or sometimes both.

We were able to pool our money, get a huge order of nachos in a cast iron skillet, and still have enough left for video games!

To this day, we frequently visit Cheddar's. The prices can't be beat for the unreal amount of food you get. Costing dollars less than comparable meals in the area, there's never a time we didn't have enough left over for at least one more meal.

Cofounders Aubrey Good and Doug Rogers really dreamed up a spectacular way for their patrons to have a great dining experience, at prices even the most modest incomes can afford.

Since opening that first restaurant over 30 years ago, they've expanded and now there are over 60 across the country.

To find out if there is one near you, visit Cheddar's official website.

Old Wood Fence

This is an old wood fence in Nasipit, on Mindanao Island (Philippines).

There are three parts to this fence-

The first is the fence surrounding the house. The second, was the "half" fence which was doing nothing more than obstructing the view to an old carriage. The third part was the gate, which was interesting because of the arched top. I couldn't help but look at this fence in the condition its in now and wonder how old it was, and wondered what it might have looked like back then. Surely, to put so much effort into shaping the gate, the fence had to be worthy of the companionship.

On a funny side note- You can't tell from this picture, but I am standing in the middle of a small highway. I was intrigued at how close the house was built to the road (or vice-versa).

Philippines Volcano

The fence in this picture is located below Annie Lou, and prevents (apparently) people from falling off into the volcano if the railing gives way. Considering the railing is one small stick across a bunch of other small, flimsy sticks, the fence seems like a great idea.

Baseball Backstop & Fences



This practice baseball diamond in Hurst sits in a beautiful setting just behind city hall.

The outside fence has several open places so it restricts but does not prevent access. It makes me wonder why it is there at all.

The other fence is the backstop for the baseball field. As with most, it is curved into a "U shape". Though I think this shape looks better than a straight fence, I've never really understood why they are shaped the way they are. As far as I can tell, the curved shape doesn't provide anything over a straight fence. Maybe the are done that way simply because we are used to seeing them in that shape? Or maybe it is to mimic the big leagues, where they want the surrounding fence to be the shape of the diamond so they can fit more seats into the stadium.

Also, notice all the extra cross piping on the backstop. This is to give the fence a little extra strength and keep it from bowing outward from repeated strikes by the balls and lost bats.
