Yes, Rain


I believe it was mentioned that the ol' car washing trick wasn't working in regards to producing rain. If I'm not mistaken, planing a camping trip was proposed. Well that seems to have worked.

Here you can see The Fuzz on a previous camping trip. It was so enjoyable, The Fuzz, and His Sweetie, had planned another for this weekend. This seems to have had a beneficial effect on this drought ravaged area. Now the weather experts tell us we will have rain until Saturday. This is not a bad thing since The Fuzz's well is empty, but there does seem to be a bit of irony here.

Sitting in the rain, on a camping trip, is not real appealing, so as of now, that seems to be out of the picture. But under the circumstances, one could hardly complain.

We try not to waste water in these situations, so these buckets are catching some runoff from the roof. I remember, back in the Old Country, my Uncle used to catch it in a rain barrel. I guess this is a mini version of that system.

By the way, that's the Tailless One by the bucket.

I hope your well fills up. This nation wide water shortage is starting to get downright scary.

Have you seen photos of Lake Meade out west in Nevada? It is about 70 feet below the average level.

I do not like these trends.

Ill make a plan to haul the boat up to North Carolina. That will bring lots and lots of rain.

Hasn't helped the well yet.

L- If you bring it up here, you might have to carry it around.
