    "Leave It To The Beavers" to defend Ukraine. 
I'm sure we have posters out there ready to respond to this serious piece I read on a blog yesterday with some choice words.

    What about airborne and air assault? Are there combat birds to handle that too?

    Ward,
don’t you think the Russians were a little hard on the beaver last night?

    It is real, a small thing but helpful, the other day I read the Reuters article the blog links to.
“”The unit’s spokesman, Serhiy Khominskyi, said that help in making the terrain unpassable had also come from an unlikely ally: the local beaver population.
“When they build their dams normally people destroy them, but they didn’t this year because of the war, so now there is water everywhere,” he said.””

    This war’s propaganda ranges from the merely annoying to the overtly nauseating.

    They can have the beaver on the spring end of the lake in our neighborhood. The guy who blows up their dam every so often seems to be using louder and louder explosives that he shoots, and it’s starting to rattle the house. My dog and I are definitely rattled.

    RE: Did the Caddyshack beaver move to eastern Europe?
We all make mistakes, starting with me, but here’s a little help:
Caddyshack’s varmint was a gopher.
When his boss told him to kill the gophers,
Carl the Assistant Groundskeeper said: “Now don’t get me wrong but if we kill the golfers isn’t that murder?”
Boss: “Gophers. Gophers....”
Carl: You and that Scottish accent of yours.

    That’s right. I had forgotten it was a gopher. I don’t know what the hell I was thinking. It’s been years since I saw the movie. Thanks for correcting me.
