Jen Austin — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 12:31:56 +0000

You may remember a couple of months ago Angelina County Commissioners gave the Sheriff's office the green light to apply for a grant with the state of Texas to help crack down on underage drinking. Deputies also got a $10,000 grant to buy portable breathalyzer machines.

Don't want anyone laughing too loudly at me, but when it comes to selecting fruits and vegetable at the grocery store ( "supermarket" to others), I have the propensity to agitate other shoppers because of my diligence in selecting just the right peach, or cucumber. Will spend a grand total of five minutes buying hot sauce, dog food, sunflower seeds, a box of detergent, and bug spray.
