we camp, some of us shoot, we offroad.

Some of us ride motorcycles, some do sand dunes down south, I think some of Jack's family races.

ankle biters?

which kind of ankle biters?

What kind of work your wife like to do? there is a company outside of town that pays ok, called (can't spell it, but sounds like Auth Florence)
There is a cellular call center, (help people with their cell plans and such)
there are other things out there. Have her apply at the college (state jobs have good benefits)
Post Office pays well, plus a way to get to know some of the community.
holler if you need more idears. I am full of em.. some of them better than others.

My wife has been trying to find some of the newspapers there and has been having a hard time finding them along with the state employment office.

Any leads?
