(I think they are paying him off somehow!) Have a great day! Judy Hi Jess,

I went to grad school at U of Oregon, so I have to show preference to the duck post ;) (sorry, Roy!) I think about what the US, especially the Eastern US, would have looked like if beavers hadn't been almost eradicated. They sure do dominate a landscape. Ha!

I've always thought that if we could hire beavers to do our construction work, we'd have far less hold-ups, breakdowns and delays! Efficient little buggers, that's for sure. Hah!

I remember a backcountry coastal road that my friends and I traveled quite a bit, in Oregon's Coast Range. One year, a family of beavers moved in and turned one section of the road into a pond! Not just a little pond, either. Beavers are so cool – of course, my wife is an Oregon State alum – heh
