Red sky at night, sailors delight.
Yesterday or today is International Beaver Day. I always thought the seventh, and BWW says the 7th, but yesterday the examiner said the sixth, and a very strange thing happened out out of the blue. Two days is certainly better than one. But certainly far short of the 365 that beavers deserve.
Limited Edition Loggly Hoover Tee
In celebration of International Beaver Day, Loggly’s very own Hoover Beaver is offering a limited-edition super hero Hoover shirt to support our local beaver nonprofit, Worth A Dam.
Okay, this is strange. But stranger STILL was sitting at the city council meeting last night and listening to every single member say nice things about the beavers and the mural and, frankly, me. Really. What weird energy is at work when an entire city council, stops to shake the hand of the burr that’s been under their saddle for nearly a decade. “You did a fantastic job, burr.” They inexplicably said. “Your energy and commitment really made something beautiful in Martinez, and inspired us all”.
Burr was very pleased.
We retired to toast the artist on the porch before they actually voted, and I won’t believe everything is progressing until I see it in print, but the meeting went very very well. And all winds seem favorable at the moment.
Near as I can tell Lara moved they took staff recommendations for items 2-11 (we were six) and the council gave a unanimous vote in agreement. So it happened. Is happening.
Looks like Martinez gets another dam mural!
Now any normal person would be saying, wow, great job. Give yourself a glass of champagne. That was frickin awesome. Nothing else what so ever is going to replace this moment in your day. Just stop and bask for a while.
And then I read this headline this morning.
Who on earth KNEW that ‘Perryman’, in addition to being the last name of the burr in question, was also an incorporated area of Maryland? Not me. I’m fairly certain this is the finest headline I will ever read.
