This week my emails to two of my favorite podcasts both got mentioned on the air, so if you are here from Card Club on Lord Admiral Radio or the Used Pirate Sale welcome! Bear Droppings is my own odd assortment of news on Flagstaff AZ, technology and media issues, and then whatever else strikes my fancy.

The Grinch is back!

Love the dark ale with a healthy hint of Gingerbread flavor, so if you find yourself in Flagstaff and in need of a great holiday beer stop by Flagstaff Brewing Company, you won't be sorry. Frankly I think it's my favorite beer they brew.

In the past and from what I hear this year thus far Flag Brew is the only local brewery to have a holiday ale, but I'll be sure to keep my ears open and report accordingly.

Arizona, hot place right? Um not so much in Flagstaff. Not so much today.

Woke up and had no water, pipes were frozen, no shower, no toilet, no nada.

Thankfully I have a water bottle or horror of horrors I would have no coffee. So I survived with coffee.

As I left for work the radio said 5 degrees and weather channel said 7 degrees either way damn cold and pipes froze.

Arizona hot, yeah right, not up here.

...But I still love this town.
