Welcome to the Arketi Friday Flyer!
What an EXCITING week. The Atlanta heat has finally subsided, October is finally upon us, and… it’s Fat Bear Week! I’m sure you are all informed on FBW, but I’ll break it down for you just in case. Katmai National Park has an annual bracket challenge to determine which brown bear at the park has been the most successful in packing on the pounds ahead of hibernation. This is a great PR move by the national park if you ask me. My money is on Chunk but Grazer could definitely be a sleeper. That was an A+ hibernation joke. Enjoy another week of the Flyer thanks for bearing with me!
