BORDER PATROL AGENTS

Having not before touched upon this subject, I hope it is not too late for me to express pleasure over the sentence commutation of border patrol agents Campeon and Ramos.

I believe their sentence to be, at the very least, excessive and, perhaps, not justified at all. I, as I’m sure is true of many, was concerned that President Bush would leave office without addressing this believed to be injustice. I’m pleased that he did and I wish these two and their families well in facing what may be a difficult future.

LINDEN'S LIFE
Tuesday, in addition to watching a small portion of the televised inaugural events, was a day devoted primarily to small tasks, phone calls, etc.
Wednesday brought Study Buddy duty at an elementary school, a nice visit at Chick-fil-A while I had a mid-morning snack (large,) some tax form work, a great meal of Mexican food at church in the evening. It was followed by a very good study program and that was followed by a small group meeting. The day was busier than it sounds.
