Some days I wake up. check the news feeds and the beaver ticker tape and there is nothing, sadly NOTHING to write about. But some days the world is just bursting with beavers news. Really fun stories that I cannot wait to share and must not delay telling you about. This is a bursting day. And we have to start with this awesome film made by an alternative kindergarten in Canada.
And stay tuned until the bloopers real. It’s priceless.

Now wasn’t that precious? And Powerful?
I can just imagine mayor Schroeder right now breathing in relief as he closes the door behind him and glances back at the racing threat. He barely escaped this. If a video message from children trying to understand his logic had hit channel 7 it would have been ALL over the airways in a matter of minutes. And ours would have been even better of course. It still might be.
He is sooooo lucky. Teacher Anna Pye is a genius, but we have plenty of local geniuses too.
I think you will also enjoy this slightly more mature look at the “Zen” of beavers from two fairly groovy hikers who encountered some amazing beaver habitat on the Colorado trail. The podcast is called Groundshots and the beaver discussion starts around the 1:09 mark. They are VERY languid podcasters but you have to listen to their surprise at a real beaver complex.
