Workers at the Denver Zoo treated a grizzly bear to one of life’s simple bare necessities: a bubble bath. The zoo shared video on Wednesday of the bear, named Tundra, as she first discovered the tub of bubbles in her enclosure. After discovering the tub, Tundra immediately investigated, spending a few moments sniffing and sticking her paws in the bubbles. She eventually jumped in and enjoyed the bath. Tundra has seen bubbles before, the zoo said, but this was the first time she’s seen them in this set-up. “This type of enrichment is particularly fun because it encourages Tundra to investigate, and to cool off on hot summer days like today,” the zoo wrote. The temperature in Denver on Wednesday was reported to be in the 90s, according to The Weather Channel.

PHOENIX – In May, Sheriff Mark Lamb of Pinal County, Arizona, made waves when he said he wouldn't enforce Gov. Doug Ducey's stay-at-home order, in part, because he thought it was unconstitutional.

Lamb posted on the Pinal County Sheriff Office's Facebook page that he had been invited on Tuesday to join President Donald Trump at the White House and was tested before the meeting as part of the protocol. Lamb said he believes he came into contact with an infected person during a campaign event he held on Saturday. Lamb didn't say if he wore a mask or practiced social distancing at the event.
The Pinal County Sheriff's Office didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

Amid protesters blocking off streets around Jefferson Square Park Wednesday morning and several getting arrested, an individual in a car appeared to be confronted by about 10 protesters near the intersection of Liberty and Sixth streets, as seen on surveillance video footage provided by the Louisville Metro Police Department. LMPD spokesman Lamont Washington said Wednesday that police are looking for the driver of that vehicle to investigate further. "PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: If you don’t break the law and stand in the middle of the street, you don’t get run over," Piagentini wrote in a tweet Wednesday morning. "Thank you for your time. Please share."
