Water far away heats up, to produce water vapor. And, if there is enough thermal energy in the atmosphere, that vapor is forced away from the source waters, to cool, condense and precipitate here. It seems too hot here, because it is not hot enough elsewhere.

Also, the sun will automatically clear the snow off the sidewalks.

We don’t have to turn our yard waterers on or off. Except at the change of seasons when we turn the SYSTEM on or off.

Kid, you could call it ‘automatic.’ Rain happens when conditions are right. The ‘automatic’ periods just aren’t consistent.

It’s the most automatic irrigation system available.

Our “automatic” sprinkler system has different settings, including drizzle, downpour, sleet, and snow.

Rain might be frowned upon. You can’t meter it and charge accordingly.

And Rain = Fixed Nitrogen. Don’t waste the grounds water on a lawn. BTW, more great outdoor cartooning by Jef. THANKX

The nearby apartment complex has sprinklers. A lot of the water ends up in the gutters.

I’m new to reading Frazz. Is he supposed to come across as lazy, or pragmatic?

Is Frazz supposed to be in charge of the school grounds, too? I thought he only dealt with the inside of the school…..
