Identical twins have much to celebrate as they prepare to graduate from Lake City High

Identical twins have much to celebrate as they prepare to graduate from Lake City High

Having an identical twin means having a built-in best friend. “I don’t know how else to live,” Jillian Scott said Friday afternoon, sitting next to her twin sister Acaja Scott. “People ask, ‘How is it being a twin?’ Well, I’ve never experienced not being a twin. I have other siblings that aren’t my twins, but being a twin is kind of like my identity.” “I always think, ‘My friends have to be so lonely, but I always have Jillian to talk to,’" Acaja said. "We kind of do everything together. I think going separate ways will be hard, but it will be kind of fun because when we do get to see each other again it will be more special.”

THE CHEAP SEATS with STEVE CAMERON: M's had a chance to put the hated Astros away

SOMETIME, maybe in September, the Mariners could regret letting this Thursday snooze get away.

So, the undead Astros remain alive in the AL West race.
