There is plenty on tap in Flagstaff this weekend, even though Spring Break begins tonight at Northern Arizona University and Flagstaff Unified School District.

 This is the time of year when Flagstaff's location and climate offer incredible variation. The forest trails in our lower elevations have dried and the temperatures are moderate, so hikers have a perfect time. In the mountains, the Arizona Snowbowl has a wonderful base for skiers and the temperatures make morning skiing still very enjoyable. Drop down forty minutes through beautiful Oak Creek Canyon and you'll find WARM temperatures for hiking or horseback riding in Sedona, AZ. The only downside is that my favorite restaurant, Horsemen Lodge, is closed for Spring Break (starting Sunday, for 8 days).

Tomorrow, the Democratic Precinct Chairs of Congressional District 1 will meet at Cline Library in Northern Arizona University to elect delegates to the National Democratic Convention in Denver in August. The delegates are bound to vote for either Clinton or Obama on the first round of voting at the convention -- bound by the results of the Presidential Preference Primary that was held February 5. But this year we may get beyond  one vote at the convention -- probably not. My bet is that it will be brokered out before. But if you want to see democracy in action at the micro level, come to Cline Library tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. (And if you are are a precinct captain -- register between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. to have your vote counted!)
