On June 19, 1865 in Galveston, Texas, the last enslaved people in the United States learned they were free. A day that came more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation, Juneteenth celebrates and reflects on a pivotal moment in history.

When firefighters found a dog left at their station with a note pleading, “Please help my baby,” they set out to find the owner. What happened next proved that sometimes the hardest act of love can lead to the happiest ending. @SteveHartmanCBS is On the Road in Texas.

Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.
They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.
France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend

The American Red Cross says the nation is experiencing a severe blood shortage. Distributions of blood products to hospitals are still outpacing the number of blood donations coming in. They are offering donors a $20 e-gift card this month.

Spooky season is here! We lose around 52 minutes of daylight this month in Austin. Are you a fan of this trend?

WEEKLY UPDATE: Human-biting mosquitoes continue to decline and, thankfully, that also includes disease vectors. We may see one last surge this week due to heavy rain, but we put up a fight - staff treated over 35,000 acres of larval habitat last week!

Mosquitoes collected in Anoka and Carver Counties have tested positive for West Nile virus. These are the first positive samples of the year for each of these counties.
Residents should wear bug spray and eliminate any standing water.
