    I don't know much about the current SE, but I do know ME Brett Riggs is one of the best dudes you can work for.

    You could find much worse places/companies to work for. Harris Enterprises has pretty good benefits, and I haven't heard about furloughs or layoffs in quite a few years.

    Garden City is, of course, out in the middle of nowhere. Three hours from Wichita and Amarillo, five from Denver, six from Kansas City. But the city does have all the standard stuff, businesses and restaurants. Again, you could do worse.

    You can supplement your income by going to the casino in Dodge City and, ahem, making a few investments.

    Haha, a few investments here or there doesn't hurt. A couple of years here could score you a good job later down the road eh?

    Could be worse. Liberal has the meat-packing plant right by Seward County Community College, and during basketball games, they've been known to open the doors to let the wonderful scent float into the gym.

    I believe someone was hired....there's a name I didn't recognize writing some sports, but I don't know if that's their stringer or their new person.

    Depends on which way the wind is blowing. But there's one strange thing about Garden City because of all those feedlots and processing plants: After it rains, Garden City's air smells worse because the rain washes out the pollutants that mask the smell of cattle.
