Checkers Burgers

I thought I would say a little about Checkers, since most of you had never heard of it. These photos were taken on a Saturday Morning 5 AM trip to Wal-Mart.

Per Wikipedia, Checkers Drive-In Restaurants, Inc. is the largest chain of double drive-thru restaurants in the middle eastern part of the country.

Most people just drive through and get a bag of 1.00 burgers and pull out and drive the 8 minutes to one of our local beaches. There are pic nic tables if you want to smell the auto exhaust while you eat. they are 10 feet off of the busiest road in our county, one of 2 that go to the beaches

Checkers  sell cheap burgers, 99 cents, fries, chicken sandwiches, hot dogs and wings and sodas, that is all that is on the menu.

There is only one in our town but the company operates more than 815 Checkers and Rally's restaurants in 28 states and the District of Columbia with restaurants also operating in Israel and American Samoa.
We have only had burgers from there once about 10 years ago on the way to a beach outing. I am a Wendy's person if I decide I want a burger. Mostly I eat the ones my hubby grills in the back yard.
I just liked the NEON.....

Checkers at Five AM...

Yes, I did take these photos at Five AM (that means morning) for those of you in another country, Checkers is a drive through buy a bag of cheap burgers. Very reasonably priced. It looks very different in the daylight hours. My husband and I live by this Ben Franklin quote, that allowed for early shots. I wonder what it looks like at NIGHT.

Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise. Ben Franklin

Hold On a minute! Ben Franklin was quoting from and OLD saying that started as far back as 1400's.

As the olde englysshe prouerbe sayth in this wyse. Who soo woll ryse erly shall be holy helthy and zely [fortunate]. [1496 Treatise of Fishing with Angle H1] (is this English?)

At gramer scole I lerned a verse,‥erly rysynge maketh a man hole in body, holer in soule, and rycher in goodes. [1523 J. Fitzherbert Husbandry (1530) 52V]

Do you think they had Dyslexia way back then? Or when did spelling change to what we use today? Why did the spelling change? Who changed it? I don't know, do you?

Earley to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.

[1639 J. Clarke Parœmiologia Anglo-Latina 91] 

Early to bed and early to rise being among Mr. Sponge's maxims, he was enjoying the view‥ shortly after daylight.

[1853 Surtees Sponge's Sporting Tour ix.]

A lot of sleep doesn't make us happier. ‥It's going to bed earlier that counts. There really is much to be said for ‘early to bed early to rise, makes one healthy, wealthy and wise.’[2002 New Scientist 29 June 57]

This is the history of the quote, but can anyone tell me what it really means? how does going to bed early help us? I don't know the answer to WHY but i did find one answer, to read it, click HERE and I hope this post was not to confusing for those of you that English is not your first language.
