Because the beaver isn't just an animal; it's an ecosystem!

Tag: Bad decisions in Martinez


Let say, (and why not?) that the myopic mean-spirited decision to remove Mario’s beloved beaver from the mural was a “LEMON” of a decision. Not even a sweet juicy meyer’s lemon but one of those really juiceless bitter lemons that will never make it to a glass of tequila or even a salad.

Got it?

Carolyn Jones story this morning on the front page of the SF Chronicle then would be a frosty cool glass of the freshest lemonade you ever tasted purchased for a nickle at the top of a mountain after a sweaty climb up in 100 degree heat. Enjoy!

Everything was looking great in the mural commissioned by Martinez to celebrate its heritage – except for one thing: the beaver. In the latest chapter of the city’s conflicted relationship with its resident beaver family, officials last week ordered the muralist to paint over the depiction of a beaver he had included in his panorama.

GO ENJOY THE REST and thanks Carolyn! And thank you also to our good friends at the city whose wisdom and decision making keep bringing us such good publicity!

Oh and since the article has already brought us attention from people far and wide who never heard of us up til now, this video will catch you up to date!
