Everyday I try and think of something to interest you and today it came via Facebook.  I love that place, so many interesting (and uninteresting) things hit there.  “I’m so tired and yet here I sit and it’s 3 a.m., I just can’t go to bed right now because someone might post something interesting on here and I would miss it”.

So, this morning, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources is going to release the 6 beavers that were “saved” from the diesel spill at Willard Bay several months ago.  They were in an awful state of affairs at that time and they were marked as heros for containing the diesel to their little dams which kept it from getting out into Willard Bay proper.

YEAA Beavers!

So, they were covered with diesel fuel greasy stuff and had to be cleaned off and made sure they could see and have fuzzy fur and all that neat stuff that only cost about $15,000 p/beaver.  And today they get released back into the wilds.  But not back to their home in Willard Bay, they are not wanted there (I thank the DWR for that)!  It is rumored that they are traveling over onto the other side of the Wasatch Front mountain range and will find a new home somewhere near Randolph (those lucky folks over there can deal with them).

Someone over in that neck of the woods will have 5 pretty easy pelts come next Spring!  They won’t be worth nearly what it cost to save them, but they should be able to net at least $15 each.

Am I bad?
