The New and Improved Beaver Lodge 1504 website

May 3rd, 2009 · No Comments

Like Crone Report, the beaver lodge site is built in wordpress. I did a quickie theme customization; the Kubrick theme [...]

McCain Prefers His Beavers Unmanaged

March 5th, 2009 · 2 Comments

In this article by Maureen Dowd, she lists earmarks that John McCain is opposing in the latest spending bill. His objections include this line item: $650,000 for beaver management in North Carolina and Mississippi. Perhaps beavers are more manageable in Arizona, but we’ve had issues with unruly beavers right here in our neighborhood. It was [...]

Another weekend in Durham

August 16th, 2008 · No Comments

Mr. D. and I took a tour of the new studios at Golden Belt last night. Some of the work was excellent, but overall, it was not the highest caliber of art I’ve ever seen. But one of the things I like about Durham is that it’s not an art-snobby place. If you are working [...]

A fun time was had by all

June 8th, 2008 · No Comments

A hot time was had in the Bull City last night—in every sense of the word. The temperature was still in the high 90′s as the Scene of the Crime Rovers kicked off the festivities at the Fourth Annual Beaver Queen Pageant. A hilarious monologue and song from Fishscenta sealed the deal—although it was a [...]

How ironic

June 7th, 2008 · No Comments

Thank goodness I didn’t leave it until the very last minute to get my beaver tail out of the closet. I dug it out to discover that you could barely see the black fake fur. It was covered in real fur. Damn cats. If I wanted a cat tail, I would have made one of [...]

The Fourth Annual Beaver Queen Pageant!

June 7th, 2008 · 3 Comments

Tonight’s the night! Kaferine deNerve was just here stocking up on coolers for ice and water, since the weather promises to be a scorcher. At least we don’t have to worry about rain turning the meadow into a swamp. I have the honor of being the handler for one of this year’s contestants, Badonna. I’ll [...]

The best day ever

April 27th, 2008 · 5 Comments

Two days in my 7 years of North Carolina have really stood out: my wedding day, and a day about 4 years ago that I spent canoeing down the Haw River. Yesterday I got to combine the two: Barry and I paddled the Haw together. This was a different stretch: a little further north, class [...]
