Greg Abbott Slammed as Thousands Lose Power in Texas During Bomb Cyclone

Governor Greg Abbott faced backlash Friday after thousands of Texans were left without power due to an arctic blast slamming into the state this week.

Mucho tiempo he dedicado a meditar. Como estudioso e investigador de orígenes antiguos, he visitado tumbas abandonadas, criptas ennegrecidas que cubren nombres y apellidos y que, quizá, emulan a la desmemoria que todo lo arrebata a los recuerdos para dispersarlo como lo hace el viento con las hojas secas una tarde otoñal.
