It is indeed the home of Popeye. I try to forget about it...nothing wrong with him, but when ya live here...it gets old. Except in September when you couldn't POSSIBLY forget 'cause it's everywhere. Popeye picnic/parade weekend. Murphysburo is about 45 minutes from here. Home of the....APPLE...**shrug**, don't ask, I didn't make it up, that's what they say. "Yearly apple festival". anyway, that's where I am. I'm not toooooooo terribly far from Bob either in Greenville

Menard Penetentiary. Oh, but that's not all. In this one little town we have Menard Maximum Sec., Menard Medium Sec., and a Mental Health Hospital and we used to have Menard Psych, and a death row cellhouse. A lot of people work at all of them, but I've never been one of them. I couldn't do those jobs anyway. I wouldn't be "nice" enough to the convicts and nutcases... oh I'm sorry...I mean "inmates" and "patients". I'd tell them once to sit down...and when they didn't I'd just hafta accidently sit them down...with a nightstick

BTW, normal "nutcases" I have no problem with, and would have no problem calling patients. The fine folks out there are "criminally insane" and 98% of them aren't insane at all, they used that defense to get out of prison time.
