 And good morning, everybody. It's 5.30 and welcome to a brand new day. I'm Mike Palm. Thank you for waking up with me every weekday morning. Between 5.30 and 9, local news you can count on. We'll check some of the stories that are trending across New Hampshire and Southern Maine and breaking overnight. Conversations with the newsmakers. Rory O'Neill will join us, our national correspondent covering the Republican National Convention out in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He'll join us in our 6 o'clock hour. As always, we thank you for waking up with us as we keep it local, we keep it fun here on the Pulse of New Hampshire.
