Very true! Man is the only critter that makes a bigger impact on his environment than the beaver. We're actually a lot alike, but thanks to a bigger brain and opposable thumbs we have all sorts of neat things they don't...like digital watches and hockey.

The grass is greener on the other side of the fence...and it's usually greenest right above the septic tank.
