It’s Monday and I’m running out of September’s bounty of beaver articles to chose from. I spent yesterday trying to compress my virtual talk for the wildlife festival. And was supremely annoyed that one slide turns into gibberish every time, no matter how many different ways I tried it. In the end I was only able to get this file uploaded gibberish-free, which you can see does not have a fast enough frame rate and the beaver footage looks blurry. I will probably try two more times. It takes hours. Then I will call this good enough.

I wish the beaver footage looked as lovely as it does on my camera But you know how it is. You can’t have everything you want. Sometimes you find out the president of the united states only paid 750$ in taxes the year he was elected. That’s about enough for the fuel it takes to drive a lone secret service vehicle to a single rally. Or buy milk for a Texas elementary school lunch program for a week. Or pay for a single box of bullets ofan Iraqi soldier.
It’s about twice what he paid Stormy Daniels. Just in case anyone wondered,
This is from Idaho which has only just begun to consider that a life beaver might be more useful to mamkind than a dead one. They haven’t spent any time at all on the finer details of successful reintroduction, like moving family members or giving temporary shelter to avoid predation.
But sure. It’s slightly better than dropping them out of airplanes. So that’s a plus.
