Alright you lot. Get your minds out of the gutter and back in the sewer where they belong. :eek:
For the first time in 75 years a beaver was spotted in the Detroit River. Conservationalists are pointing to this as a sign that efforts to clean up the polluted river is working. Hopefully they are right.
Beaver have made a real comeback in central and southern Ontario and sometimes are causing problems with flooding farmers fields or roads. Usually in those cases they are trapped and relocated although quite often another pair move in shortly.
They can repair a destroyed dam amazingly quickly.

So how long before we have to get rid of the d@mn things because they have built a dam across the river?

But it really is a good sign. Any polution we can responsibly clean up is a great thing!

I question whether that was a beaver or the former mayor of Detroit making a break for Canada.

I ain't never seen a beaver sending text messages on a Blackberry while he was swimming before! Kwame, come back!!!!
