In Texas City, Monday, an 86-year-old man and his 68-year-old wife repelled a group of robbers who attempted to enter their home. Three of four suspects were arrested a short time later.

Eighteen years may seem like a gap, but from the perspective of 68 or 86 I suppose it is not so much.

I haven't listened to The Ticket since we got our new car with satellite radio 2 years ago.

I have to give credit to Rush Limbaugh for using the term "seasoned citizen." I don't know if he came up with it on his own or heard it somewhere.
