Where am I from? Big Hats. Where I am currently? a world's fair forty years a go (They're still not over it) and marmots.

What is a marmot you asked? That's fine. Most people outside of my town don't know.

Isn't it a weasel type creature?

Close? It's more like a beaver without the tail.

Or like nutria if they lived in the ground and not the water.

They're rodents the size of cocker spaniels whatever they are.

Anyway we get so many spring and summer they're basically an unofficial mascot and kind of a local joke around here.

The ones the parks know that they can sometimes get food from people and are almost tame. It's weird.

not completely without cuteness
