I dunno 'bout that list.
Boone Iowa ain't exactly cheerful these days. Suicides, murders, businesses burning down.
The man I used to buy my morning coffee and gas from every day for the last 12 years at the local Kum & Go store killed himself last Wednesday. Left behind a couple of kids and a wife and a ton of bills that they are now asking for donations for. The last thing I said to him was, "Can you put this coffee and donut on Walt's account?" It was the first time I think I ever saw him smile. Walt is a mutual friend who frequents the establishment.
