    For those of us who work during the evening, it was hard not to be distracted by one of our favorite shows Thursday.

    This show wasn't on TV or a tablet, though, it was the one Mother Nature put on the air outside our window in the Twin Cities.

    But of course that show was captured by many photographers, so now it is available on your tablet, phone, or laptop. Here's a sampling of the sky photos posted to Twitter:

    Minnesota Zoo puts on last dolphin show

    The dolphin show at the Minnesota Zoo is no more. Friday marked the final day for dolphin shows at the zoo after 35 years of performances. Organizers say that the two remaining dolphins -- Allie and Selmo -- will be moving to a new, undetermined location. While the shows are done, the zoo is starting a "Farewell Week" Saturday, where people can stop by to view the dolphins and see them interact with trainers.
