Calhoun County has been fighting an expensive battle against the local beaver population. Recent years have seen the number of dams increase and raise water levels to destructive heights. The higher water has swamped over roadways and attempts to tear down the dams are only temporary. After the big equipment and work crews have left, the beavers get together their own work crews and work on repairing their damaged dams. The hope is that the county can manage the natural habitat and maintain their infrastructure. It is comical to me to see people try and "manage" nature and natural habitats. You can't "manage" nature any more than you can "manage" the weather.
This just reminds me of Bill Murray's fight against the gophers in Caddyshack. Good luck, Calhoun County. I think the beavers will build dams if you do, and dams if you don't. ;)
Here is a list of some of the events for this weekend. Have a great weekend!
Read MoreThe Detroit City Council finally got around to doing what they should have done a couple of weeks ago. They approved the deal that will send daily zoo operations to the Detroit Zoological Society. This move saves the zoo - for now.
Read MoreHey, I have a shameless plug that involves my Alma Mater, Western Michigan University. There is a new weblog from the Kalamazoo Gazette that features the WMU Broncos sports teams. It is written by Gazette sports writer, Graham Couch and delivers additional information and insight into Western sports. Even though Western was embarrassed by Toledo in basketball last night (81-58, ouch) I look forward to the additional coverage. I have added a link to the blog to my blogroll on the right hand side if you are interested.
As I walked out to the mailbox this morning I noticed a change in the air and the way the birds were singing. The air doesn't have that hidden chill to it that seems to creep under your collar and bite your face. It seems almost warmer even though the temperature wasn't even in the mid-30s. A familiar scent is on the air. You know what I mean. From winter's dull sullen air we are welcomed into spring with a fresh and earthy fragrance.
Out of the bird's pleasant song I picked up the tune of a Red-winged Blackbird. If that isn't a definite sign that spring is just around the corner then I don't know what is. Even though we still have ample chances for more snow and ice you cannot deny that spring is on the way.
