@RebeccaHLatham Yes, you can. At least I did, all the local stations on YouTubeTV, determined by your zip code.

This old machinery was placed in the 1930s to prevent flood waters from washing out the train tracks in Eastern Colorado. I've never seen it even close to water. The rain this year is mind-blowing. #cowx

[Tab Clay @tabclay]

Very wet year so far in Eastern Colorado. This is Big Sandy Creek east of Hugo. Normally this creek is just a bed of sand. It has broken the banks this year and is flooding roads and pastures.

Ummmm....

Our local coyote followed us home from a walk today. Not cool.

Do I know anyone that sails? Grandma wants to go for a ride on a sailboat. Also looking for recommendations of any company in the US that does a half-day type sailing trip.

@matt_narvaiz Pojoaque?

@Alexrosstweets It will be interesting to see if the detention center sees the same increase in civil lawsuits that the Sheriff's office has seen under current leadership.

@jimodonnell2 We got it northeast of Pueblo near Hugo tonight. Lovely rain, but impressive lightning and thunder.

@jimodonnell2 @AnyFishAnyTime Definitely read them. I just finished a second read in March.

But that money won't come out of the police budget, it will be covered by liability insurance. What consequences are there for the agencies who are responsible for civil rights violations? In my experience, basically none.

Sad news: Unfortunately, once captured, we saw the damage. He was hit by a truck. His entire side was crushed and torn open, blood hidden by the broken wing. Euthanasia was the only option for @COParksWildlife.

Please be careful on the road, watch for wildlife big & small.

[Tab Clay @tabclay]

This little hawk has a broken wing. He hopped up there from the ground. Waiting on the local @COParksWildlife officer to call me and come get it or tell me what to do. Poor thing.

[Tab Clay @tabclay]

Update: apparently protocol in my area is to euthanize it. Trying to coordinate with a raptor center now.

Szabo, Inc. that sold the straw is operated by L. Szabo, last I heard, an Española Police Department officer.

@Grits4Breakfast Craziest thing I experienced in Texas was a consent form for parents agreeing to let schools beat their kids. In our district you could opt out, but it said your kid might be expelled if that discipline wasn't an option.

@pcrickard I think if it's their money, then they should get to decide where to spend it. Even if the money was a gift. Once it's their money, it's their choice.

[Tab Clay @tabclay]

@KOB4 Wait, how did he lie about being involved with BCSO to purchase the gear? Can you just lie and say you are a deputy and buy a uniform somewhere? Is this a public safety threat?

@aspecurian My daughter's dog. Casually sitting on my chair as seen from our dirty window.

[Tab Clay @tabclay]

@jimodonnell2 Also...the cops better have brought presents to explain.

[Tab Clay @tabclay]

@jimodonnell2 According to local media, a school resource officer reported the dad was drunk, put his son in a headlock and pierced his ear. But...I question this statement, because the child was not removed from the home. https://t.co/l7EZY7UGok
