At @greeleyschools for board of education business meeting this evening. A "packed" meeting as board pres. Michael Mathews said seconds ago.

Someone successfully rode their bike down the hill with no hands and it sounds like it was LIT 🔥

I can tell we’re finally out of false spring by the absolutely unhinged screams of joy (?) coming from the neighborhood children

[Anne Giles Delaney @AnneGDelaney]

We're a few minutes from the start of the @greeleyschools business meeting, and already the board room is full in the district administration building.

I don't imagine all of these folks will stay for the length of the meeting. But...interesting.

❄️Impressive snow totals from Longmont - Fort Collins - Greeley so far! Many locations reporting 6-9".

Heavier snow shifts east across the plains today.

In Opinion

"This isn’t what middle-class millennials thought midlife would be like," Jessica Grose writes. "Our childhoods were marked by an unusually high level of prosperity in the United States and the expectation that such stability would continue." https://t.co/0ILt1VIvup

@thejuliebroad Thanks Julie! It is exciting 😁

[Kelly Ragan @kellyraygun]

I’ve been a vegetarian for like 10 years, but recently started eating little bits of meat during pregnancy to get enough iron, cut back on some processed foods, “honor the cravings,” etc.

[Kelly Ragan @kellyraygun]

It all tastes too meaty to me.

[Kelly Ragan @kellyraygun]

Let me tell you though I do not actually miss meat.

@trentonsperry I believe it! I'm very glad I Googled "common Facebook Marketplace scams" before I got bamboozled.

[Kelly Ragan @kellyraygun]

I'm trying to sell a couch on Facebook Marketplace, and so far I've been contacted by no less than four scammers 🙃

[Kelly Ragan @kellyraygun]

Also, there are ✨four (4)✨ city council seats up for election this year.

[Kelly Ragan @kellyraygun]

So far, two people have filed to run for the Greeley-Evans School Board District 6 election. This will be an important one to watch if censorship is on your mind, folks.
