It’s back! Not quite as intense and bright as last night, but we do have northern lights in the southern twin cities. The sequel is never as good as the original.

The sky is on fire outside my house. Legend has it that when the northern lights are this bright in the Twin Cities it means we get six more months of winter. Or as our local meteorologist Prince once said “sometimes it snows in April”.

Woe to Wordle players. It is either now an additional fee to play, or the system is having problems this morning. I’ve reported it to the @nytimes.com as a bug and we’ll see what happens.

We are so sad that Cristian and Karen De Leon are putting their incredible restaurant “on pause” after this Sunday while they rethink the business. If you have not been here, please visit this week. Their other locations including their original at the BP gas station in Eagan will remain open.

I edited a short video of the great art on display at the Minnesota Zoo Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular. The event has been revamped, feels less cramped, and has lots of places to buy treats!

Stan Turner and our other All News Channel anchors. This is probably the early 1990s. Stan was our main evening/ overnight anchor. A great anchor, great journalist, and loyal friend. I will miss you Stan. Rest in peace at 81.

One of our neighbors hired a food truck and a portable bar to host a fantasy football draft in their driveway. Tasty menu. But questioning if fries with cheese whiz should be classified as a food crime.
