Anecdotal Lead

Rain or shine, starting the day early is just a way of life in the small town of Happy in the panhandle of Texas. A normal day doesn't consist of sitting behind the desk, for some it means feeding and watering cattle, checking fences, and putting in 5 hours on a tractor before lunch.
