Hi Daryl!

Yup: we've had it rain on one hill here and not a drop on the next hill.
Literally 'spotty showers'!

Probably/possibly so.  I have no idea as to what incident you are
referring so a cautionary response.  News reports will be incendiary -- 
"if it bleeds it leads" -- so while a bit of the incident is true the 
full context makes it false.  For instance I once beat a dog with a bike
tire (it was off the rim).  OMG I'm an evil person!  The whole story is 
my dog and a friend's dog got into a fight -- not a quick snap but 
drawn-out fangs-bared, biting, etc.  Us kids were trying to stop the 
fight, I ran to the back yard and got the tire, ran back and started 
whapping my friend's dog with the tire.  Did stop the fighting and no 
injuries to the dogs nor us kids.

Now I will also admit there are outright evil goings-on which have no 
excuse.  Puppy mills for one.  In some cases probably a fine line 
between a breeder and a mill but overall a breeder is conscientious 
while a mill....
