    Yep, we even have a Cairo if you go far enough south.

    Great reply. Heck yeah, I'm packing a Frisbee. I've been looking at fold up bikes. That is real possibility when I go solo and those unbelievably fat paychecks start rolling in. :) And yes, I totally get what you mean by springing for coffee once and a while. Makes total sense.

    I live in Illinois, just outside of STL. Cairo is the southern most city in Illinois and has quite a bit of history. Remeber doing some sight seeing there and went into the Dollar General to get something to drink, as it seemed like the safest place to not get shot, and the girl at the register, sensing I was not from around there, politely suggested I should leave before it gets dark. Ha.

    Bring a wad of those plastic grocery bags for keeping trash picked up in the truck.

    Cairo is like E. St. Louis or Detroit. So you are in Metro East

    Yeah, far enough away from E. St Louis and Ferguson.

    In all seriousness, if I get hired at Henderson to start in late September, I might run over there to O'Fallon for a Sunday afternoon and let you buy me that lunch. You can get a free trip to Wal Mart to replenish your supplies.
     
    BeanDip Thanks this.

    I have a cousin who bought a house next to Fergeson a few years ago. I think Florrisant??? She and her Husbald have guns hidden in convenient places all over the house. I bet they are upside down on their mortgage now!!!
