BREAKING: the library in @SilverthorneCO is currently closed. It’s not because of the storm. It’s because a big ol’ moose has decided to take a nap by the front door. #coloradoproblems #MarchBlizzard 📸= Silverthorne PD

With nearly 100,000 people in old San Juan demanding that the Puerto Rico Governor resign I just asked his office if the movement tonight has swayed his resolve to stay. I got this: The Governor’s stance continues being focused in continuing the work for which he was elected.
