Merry Christmas to the B-B-E area ... hug your loved ones and enjoy a blessed Holiday weekend - Buckle up too!

A sad note over the weekend... and a sidebar to the following story, my mom's new husband is a snowplow operator for MN-Dot out of Alexandria. He's responsible for the stretch of I-94 from Alexandria to the Osakis exit. He came upon this accident as one of the first on the scene. It was ugly. Pray for their families.
