Quite a dew microbreweries sprung up and these people decided to try cider. I've walked by and it does seem to attract a crowd but not quite as much as the breweries. It's a little more authentic than a couple of attempts at wineries. Grapes don't do well here so most of the grapes are imported with a few locally grown grapes thrown in. One woman was honest enough to make wine from stuff that does grow locally like rhubarb. No idea about that wither. > I had a meeting with the US office of a customer of mine this monday, > and apparently a bear came to visit them for thanks giving in Lake > tahoe.

One of our people was returning from lunch and took a photo of a bear crossing at a 4-way stop at the corner of our parking lot. The bear seemed to have a destination although the next street in the direction he was headed was a major thoroughfare where all the big box stores and fast food places live. Maybe he wanted a taco or maybe he didn't get the memo. 30 years ago that street was a two lane road at the edge of town.
