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 Exhausted Dad: Road trip time checks – a failed experiment

All four of my kids understand time. Three of the four understand the concepts of time as much as any adult of normal intelligence… meaning they can easily follow the plotlines of “Back to the Future” and “Avengers: Endgame.” Get them in a car for a family road trip, however, and the kids suddenly lose all ability to process the passage of time.

MASKING: Wrong opinion about public health

A writer from Worley espoused reflecting about COVID masking during the pandemic of 2020. He states that the power of masking was not effective. I would opine that neither he nor anyone else can accurately know just how many lives were saved by “masking” during that time, even without mandate. But we do know with accuracy how many folks DIED of COVID, including two of my friends who died. They wore no masks. There was no mandates for masks, although the public health services thought it needed.
