Hardin, Illinois – I had breakfast here while the regulars talked about whether society or the individual is at fault in the case of bad behavior on the part of teens, and whether you should kill a beaver or an otter and skin and eat them when you’re fishing for something else in the Illinois or Mississippi Rivers (catfish I presume). In fact I overheard a detailed description of the skinning process while I ate my bacon and eggs.
The decor included rustic tables, metal and vinyl chairs, a small stuffed bear on a shelf, two mounted deer heads with antlers, a largemouth bass on a placque, a wagon wheel, photos of breakfast selections, a plastic bald eagle, and a stuffed turkey.
