The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

The knockout by Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez of ring immortal Juan Francisco Estrada last weekend did more than lift Rodriguez to the top of the 115lb division and close to the top of the pound-for-pound ranking; it also staged a significant interruption to the equally compelling super-flyweight match being staged this Sunday in the Kokugikan, Tokyo. Kazuto Ioka vs Fernando Daniel Martinez was to be a fight between the two best in the world at the poundage until Bam made mincemeat out of a fighter that had seemed impervious to knockout blows. Now Rodriguez stands atop the mountain and Ioka and Martinez will settle who is the best of the rest – and hopefully determine who will face Bam in a showdown for the ages.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.
