We were at the San Diego zoo on a rainy day, and they were doing just that, using a burlap cloth like the last one in your pics. My pic here was after she pulled it off but you can see it at her side

A mere orangutan? I don’t think so.

If God would have wanted orangutans to not get wet, He would have created them with ponchos.

A new picture showing bigfoot fighting the lizard people on Mars (it was during a dust storm)! 
(in reality, a non-focused picture of the base plate of my microscope, with the microscope lights off).

Tangentially:
I have a great affinity for Big Foot, as I was jealously called Big Foot in 5th and 6th grade by boys, desperate for a growth spurt rivaling mine. My feet were big, along with everything else. Fun times. Clumsy, too.

Little boys pushing away little girls is really pretty comical when you think about how ardently they’ll be sniffing around before long. Are cooties really catchable? Lucky you getting in some long bone development in before girly constitution cut if off early on.

I don’t think that you were around me then, given that at 11 I was 6’ 0", and wore a size 11 (I think).
Now I am 6’ 5.5", and wear a 16 EEEEEE (my foot is actually the right length for a 14.5, but I have a high arch, high instep, and very wide feet, so I go up a few sizes). I also own the largest pair of steel-toed boots I have ever seen: 18 EEEs.

My grandmother was fairly extreme on that: she was 5’ 3" at 11 (in the late 40s), and stopped then.

I have two dear cousins in the category of tall you inhabit. It’s rare air up there. For real.

I’m curious who you go to for shoes. I know it isn’t any regular store. I used to get hiking shoes from the French company propet. But they were junk and wore out ridiculously fast. The New Balance wslking shoe that comes in a width suitable for diabetes sufferers are my go to shoe for walks and working in the garden. But SAS shoes out of Texas makes an extra wide that works well at least in their leather models. But I decided to try these leather sole with a synthetic material + leather top for hiking. As you can see my feet are trying to get out through the sides. But I still like the all leather loafer and Oxford models. My foot doctor approves of them. I’m thinking of getting something made custom at the walk shop one of these days.
My feet are naturally 9s but I’ve also bought too big shoes just to get more width. Not fun.

Some stores stock a few pairs of 16s, or the like. I don’t get new ones very often, though. Usually, we order them online. Various online places have them.

I guess this qualifies as computer science humor (also, it was discovered whilst finding directions to a lecture in Landrum by Paul Julienne Resources - BioLogos):
A few hints:
1: businesses are not found in the middle of an intersection between rural highways.
2: that is not a US phone number.
3: businesses in Chesnee do not have street addresses in Vietnam.
4: when you enter the listed address into Google Maps, you get a security guard service on the same street in the same town (in Vietnam).
