Yesterday we travelled to Chester, IL, birthplace of E.C. Segar, creator of Popeye. It was 76 wonderful global warmed degrees. We were going to cross the Mighty Mississippi on the Modoc ferry at Ste Genevieve but the river was fogged in and the ferry wasn't running. The City of Chester has commemorated Segar by placing statues of his characters around the town. We had lunch at Reid's Harvest House Smorgasbord. The fried catfish was some of the best I've had. If you ever find yourself in the neighborhood, stop by Chester and say hi to Popeye and the gang!
