That's disgusting. I'm going out later and hope to see some clean shaven, non-bloody beavers.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

With a mirror you can see a beaver and a moon at the same time.

Guys...The November full moon is known as the Beaver moon. This is the time of the year beavers are most active.



According to the Farmers almanac:

Full Beaver Moon – November This was the time to set beaver traps before the swamps froze, to ensure a supply of warm winter furs. Another interpretation suggests that the name Full Beaver Moon comes from the fact that the beavers are now actively preparing for winter

I am sure there are other interpretations as well
