My wife and I have been looking around, but at ages 69 and 71 we want to make sure we get a good vehicle that meets our future needs and current budget.Senior Drivers Sun, 17 Aug 2008 23:22:00 +0000 http://www.corsicanadailysun.com/columns/local_story_230232259.html http://www.corsicanadailysun.com/columns/local_story_230232259.html Miscellany rules as summer winds down, and the Olympics heat up. Observations herein were gathered from “hither and yawn.” Sat, 16 Aug 2008 22:11:00 +0000 http://www.corsicanadailysun.com/columns/local_story_229221149.html http://www.corsicanadailysun.com/columns/local_story_229221149.html I wondered why progress on the much touted and very expensive “re-bricking” of one block of Third Avenue had seemingly stalled.

On Wednesday of this week, as we wiled away a goofy morning (which seemed more like Funky Friday), Sat, 16 Aug 2008 22:04:00 +0000 http://www.corsicanadailysun.com/columns/local_story_229220711.html http://www.corsicanadailysun.com/columns/local_story_229220711.html Being a relative newcomer to Navarro County and the City of Corsicana, I wanted to take just a moment to say thank you to Judge Davenport, our county commissioners, Mayor Brown, and our city council.

Although there were settlers in the area in the 1860s, the town was not formally organized until 1881 Sat, 16 Aug 2008 21:22:00 +0000 http://www.corsicanadailysun.com/columns/local_story_229212229.html http://www.corsicanadailysun.com/columns/local_story_229212229.html For people with diabetes, maintaining healthy blood glucose levels is a matter of life and death. One way for people to better control their glucose levels is to eat healthful meals and snacks at regular times each day.

I really think it was invented some 75 or so years ago knowing that someone, such as I, would come along who truly hates the game. Or at least that’s my take on the matter.

Letterman — in general — and Rupert — in particular — are hereby pre-empted by a pair of pie-baking teachers in Glen Rose, Texas. (Now cut out the “head-scratching” about Rupert. He’s the laid-back delicatessen operator around the corner from the Late Show.)
