I think you need a cat wrapped in a thermally insulating blanket, but te
foxes don't like this very much, I'm told.

Why not do what I do, learn to use a cane to scan the area just where you

A likely story.

Because its much more convenient to have the light come on.

How well does that work across a soggy lawn with puddles, can you tell
the difference easily?

Not too helpful when I need both hands to carry something to or from the
garage or shed though.
