📰 News we're reading

• Flirting with fall color (brainerddispatch.com) — If you're driving around Aitkin County, you're already in one of the brighter fall color zones, with much of the county showing roughly 25–50% leaf change. The DNR's map suggests central Minnesota, including the Aitkin area, typically peaks around mid-October, so there's still time to plan scenic drives before colors crest and quickly fade.
