Right. Nobody likes a dirty beaver.

I think this is great news, that the water is clean enough for the beaver to return—75 years is a very long time. They’re all over the place where I live.

That said, I knew there’d be jokes about women’s anatomy, but I didn’t expect this many (I think there were one or two posts on topic) and for some reason, I find it irritating. Maybe it’s because I’m a woman and I’d hoped to have some discussion on point, on the environment.

I hesitate to post this because I’m sure I’ll get flamed, but I have a feeling I may not be alone, so I will.

a beaver lodge has been discovered in an intake canal at a Detroit Edison riverfront plant.

How long do you think before they have to relocate these beavers because they threaten the intake?
