My husband Nathan *really* wanted to go to @ComoZoo for his birthday to see his favorite animals, the polar bears, but it was closed (like everything). But the zookeepers were so nice and made us a video of the bears enjoying a special treat in his honor. Thank you, Como!

Today I'm covering my last Nicollet County Commissioners meeting before I turn in my reporter's notepad for a while as I prepare to head to Marine Corps boot camp. Looking forward to a new adventure! (And no more county meetings!)

We are flying through this city council meeting. It's a miracle. I probably just jinxed it though...

The St. Peter Council approved a new 3D mammography machine for River's Edge Hospital and Clinic. It'll cost the hospital about $13,000/yr but CFO Laurie Zook said it's a community service.
