A beaver has a habit of sticking a landowner in a catch-22 between the EPA rules on wetlands and wildlife.

I can't think of this without thinking of Joseph Heller.

Unfortunately in life there are more catch-22 situations than you would think....

Can EPA rules on wetlands be discussed outside the Pit?

Asking for a friend, of course. :P

Mention their existence? Yup.  Debate whether or not they should exist? Nope.

The pictures of beavers above remind me of, when I was a teen, I was staying overnight with a friend and we saw beavers building a dam on the creek of his parents' property.  Two nights later, it rained five inches in two hours, and the beaver dam was washed away.
