Mike Gallagher was bitching about a beaver dam behind his house just the other day. Definition of curmudgeon, if you ask me.

"Old Curmudgeon" from Founders Brewerey in Grand Rapids, MI is an excellent old ale brewed with molasses, oak aged, and rings in at 9.8% ABV. Tasty stuff!
Not if it floods your property.
Flooding disaster in Central Vermont
Adamant Village, Vermont - May 3, 2010
Clean-up efforts are underway in Adamant after flood waters ripped through the village last night.
The flood happened after a beaver dam on a pond burst. At one point the downtown was covered in 4 feet of water.
Fire crews from several surrounding communities responded. Seven homes were evacuated.
Area residents now say most of the damage to homes was relatively minor, but travel in and out of the area is somewhat difficult. The main road through town was washed out. And that road through the village was still closed this morning, but crews are already busy at work dumping gravel onto the road.
Adamant’s famous co-op— thought to be the oldest co-op in New England— was spared. So was the Adamant music school.
