Apparently I insulted an entire state yesterday. Which is very often par for the course, I know, but still unsettling to wake up to. I am not particularly dismissive of a single state am I? (Well, maybe Oklahoma, but after what happened to our EPA yesterday does that really count?) In fact, I remember being pretty darn snotty to the state that I sometimes call beaver Mecca when they suddenly published a laughably stupid article. Yes, I can be condescending, but I like to think I offend all regions equally.
(Next week Bob will be posting from Georgia and I’m sure he’ll offend no one.)
Sorry, my floor heater stopped working this morning and things feel kind of unmerciful without it. Add to that I received the winter newsletter of Beavers: Wetlands and Wildlife yesterday which contains a retrospective on our story ten years later. Failure is an orphan, they say. But apparently success has many parents.
Not exactly the way I remember it, but now that I’m done croaking I can say that there are also lovely articles also about our good friends in the Sierra Wildlife Coalition and Bob and Jane Kobres in Georgia! Which is wonderfully fitting and I’m sure they won’t spend spend time complaining ungratefully like me. Our story notwithstanding, the BWW newsletter is a wonderful resource with a fine summary of all things beaver. If you want to receive your own copy of the newsletter, go here to subscribe.
