R 2
In a reply to one of our recent posts, maria asks..."What are the other R's?" Well, the 2nd is of course, 'riting.
In this The Fuzz has been somewhat less successful.
Back in the days, there was a class called Penmanship. As can be seen from the example here, The Fuzz was not what one would consider an Honor Student. In fact, by the time he reached the 7th grade, he was ordered to abandon cursive writing altogether. This was not too big a sacrifice since he couldn't read it himself.
Now it seems to be possible to read his writin' if he draws the letters rather than attempts to write them, as can be seen here.
But there are other aspects to this writin' stuff besides neatness, stuff like grammar and spelling. Now that grammar stuff can get confusing, so well not get into that here. But that spelling business deserves a word or two. It has been said that the English language is 80% phonetic. The obvious problem here is that 20% is not! If this wasn't enough, how does one know if a mystery word is in the 80% or the 20%? I mean, is this fair? And just who decided what's what here?
The fact is, if not for "spell check" you probably couldn't even read this.
So now we've dealt with two of these "R's". One of these days we may get to the next.

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.
