Troy doesn't usually tweet a bazillion times a day but he did today.  Too much sugar in his coffee or something.  Because it is so unusual and because his day was far more interesting than mine, I'll take the lazy man's path and paste the tweets in here.

The only other news worth reporting -  the police literally told our staff that they should have left "Moses" in the street, that by picking him up they did the wrong thing. They actually said that!  The staff members that went to report what happened (with "Moses" with them) were reprimanded. Oh.my.head.  Nothing like getting a lecture for doing what is CLEARLY the right thing. How can leaving a living disabled human alone in the dirt be the right thing? Tomorrow they are instructed to return with the paper report that was created today to the Mayor's office.  The paper cost $500 Haitian Dollars.  (2500 gourdes)  - or the equivalent of $62USD.

All that math to say, for just $62 you too can go file a report and receive a stern lecture from the local police.  What tha?
