| Good morning! Another summery day with highs in the mid- to upper 80s. Thunderstorms developing late this afternoon. So here's the bad news: Today is Bob Collins' last day here at MPR News. He's retiring after 27 years here. The good news: It's Bob Collins Day! That's right, Gov. Tim Walz has declared today to be Bob Collins Day in the state of Minnesota. All day we'll be celebrating Bob and sharing stories on NewsCut -- including how the blog came to be. It was an act of God, you know. Kind of. | Forecast |
