I had read about this chain recently in Inc. magazine, so one of the things I wanted to do while we were on our vacation was to sample their fare. While they've got franchises in 40 states, I've never seen one in my regular travels, and I ain't going out of my way for a hamburger). I figured we were heading into their prime market so there might be a chance. As luck would have it, there was one right next to the hotel we stayed at in Williamsburg.
Frankly, and I know this is heresy to foodies, I was underwhelmed. The fries were OK, but not overwhelming. If you're gonna have greasy fries, I want to see 'em dripping in grease. Although these did come close. Having bottles of malt vinegar at the condiment counter was a step in the right direction. And I think it's hilarious that they show the source of the potatoes on a sign. Like, can anyone really tell? Would you call up the store in the morning, ask for the source of the potatoes and then make your luncheon location decision based on that?
The hamburger was pretty good, but not the greatest. It was juicy, I'll say that. Frankly, what I really liked was the choices of stuff. I selected grilled onions and green peppers. That was a combination I've never had before and it made the hamburger. Now I just have to figure out a way for the local restaurants around here to give me grilled green peppers.
They make a big deal out of the bun, but it just fell apart, so I wasn't impressed. And hand shaped hamburgers? Who cares?
They also make a big deal about cleanliness. Kate said the restroom wasn't particularly clean, and she noticed that the person cleaning up the dining area would put her hands into the garbage can and push the garbage down. Then, using the same gloved hands, she would refill the napkin dispenser and handle all of the other stuff on the condiment area. There is a reason they wear the gloves. Food workers frequently don't get this and it drives me crazy.
OK, all you foodies can scream. But I just wasn't that impressed. It was better than your average burger. And I'd eat there again if I came across one. But I'm not going to make a special effort.
I'd give them 4 out of 5 stars (the extra star is for the grilled green peppers).

sunset catching a chain-link fence in Redwood City.
This photo was taken on a weekly photo-walk event being tested out by the San Mateo County flickr group. Thread for this walk is here, it was a two-block section of El Camino Real in Redwood City. I gave myself the extra challenge of only using my 30mm f/1.4 lens.

The Concrete Heritage Museum is losing a long term storage room as the owners of the building would like to renovate it for a future purpose. Much of what we have in there has no real place in our museum so we would like to dispose of it. Offering it to other museums is part of the process, so we hope that some of it will find a home in nearby community museums. Part of it is shown in these pictures today and more will be added later.

From the era when chains came packaged in steel boxes, this great Brampton box still has the price on it.

Put the chain back on. 'Cyclocrosser' yellow jersey Wout van Aert can do it all!
Wout van Aert was already three times world champion in cyclo-cross (2016-2018).

My bicycle has not been ridden in years. It is the only chain that I have, owning no jewerly, so here it is in all of its glory.
The image is about 7.5 cm (3 inches) on the long edge.
Alongside the Scaledown Scammell came this older chain-drive version, but its origin is less clear and there is no name on the base. The cab is generally similar (but not identical) to that of the old Varney kit and the body is plastic so almost certainly not original; I suspect it may be a Fraction Models kit but can anyone confirm?
I was thrilled to find some colour outside as it was quite a gloomy day. Eventually it began to snow big, fluffy snowflakes (you know, the kind that makes everyone feel all cozy inside). Hot chocolate followed. :)
Kytons are some of hell's most vicious torturers. Their chains are indeed part of their body, and possess a life all their own.
Cold Chain handler Rajesh Kumar Koli takes vaccines from a Laboratory Chest Freezer at the cold storage facility in Public Health Centre in Kolaras block, district Shivpuri in Madhya Pradesh. Despite being one of the most mineral rich states in India, with vast hoards of diamonds, Madhya Pradesh is one of the poorest with 40% of its population living in poverty. The state also has some of the worst development statistics in India. Of every 100,000 live births in Madhya Pradesh - 310 mothers will die, while 59 new-borns will die for every 1000 live births - one of the highest infant mortality rates in the country, and compares starkly with Kerala for example where 14 infants will die out of 1000 live births. This number jumps to 63 newborn deaths for every 1000 live births in rural areas. UNICEF India/ 2013/ Manpreet Romana..

This is an ANTIQUE Japanese Small Patterned Komon. Komon are informal kimono worn at home and about town. They are essentially the jeans and t-shirt combo of the kimono world. The smaller the pattern on a komon, the more casual it is. This one has a somewhat small pattern, so it's a less casual piece. This kimono likely originates in the Taisho (1912 - 1926) or Early Showa Period (1926 - 1989). Though it has been relined with modern white fabric. This komono features a pattern of blue wisteria chains over a purple background.
I have inspected this kimono in detail, and there is some damage, but most of it is minor. There a number of small white spots on the outside of the garment, but most of these are not noticeable. There are also some small faint marks on the lining. Overall, I would rate this kimono to be in good antique condition. I have circled the damages in the photos above. I believe this garment is 100% silk.
MEASUREMENTS:
145cm - Long (Collar to Hem)
126cm - Arm span
58cm - Width across the back
126cm - Total width of skirt
56cm - Sleeve drop
SIZING:
If you are unsure of how to interpret the kimono's size it is important to know that the length (collar - hem) should be approximately 10cm longer to 10cm shorter than the wearer's overall height (longer is better). This is because the excess length will be folded up at the waist. Meanwhile, the skirt should wrap around the hips a full 1.5 times. The armspan should also reach wrist to wrist on the wearer. In this case, the kimono will ideally fit a woman about 135cm (4'5") - 155cm (5'1") tall, with hips about 84cm (33") around. There is some give and take in these measurements though.
During the 19th century the Black Country, in particular the Cradley Heath area, became the centre for chain making in Britain. Heavy to medium chains were produced by men in factories, however the smaller chains (often known as 'hand-hammered' or 'country-work' chains) were often hand-worked by women or children in small cramped forges in outbuildings next to the home. The work was hot, physically demanding and poorly paid. Like other homeworking, chainmaking was an example of a "sweated" trade, where workers (often women) were paid a pittance to produce cheap goods at home.
The Chain Bridge ( officially the Széchenyi Chain Bridge) was the first permanent stone-bridge connecting Pest and Buda, and only the second permanent crossing on the whole length of the river Danube. At the time of its construction, it had the second-largest span in the world of any suspension bridge. It was designed by the English engineer William Tierney Clark who had previously used the same design on a smaller but identical bridge crossing the River Thames at Marlow.
