fire hydrant

runoff from open hydrantDear city water workers,

I don’t want to tell you how to do your job — and I’m sure that you gave this a lot of thought — but… when the overnight lows are predicted to be 20 degrees below freezing do you really think that it’s the best evening to open the fire hydrant in my yard and let it gush for a few hours? I’m just sayin’.

Oh, and if you see the phone company guys, tell them I LOVE what they were doing with the underground lines last Fall. They will come back in the Spring to fix the massive holes they dug, right? Again… just sayin’. Might make mowing fun come Summer.

Your loyal tax-paying customer.

    It may be awhile before they get to your lawn as we’ve got giant ruts in our yard too. Seems a water main ruptured (again) and they had to dig up the place.

    Also, lest we forget the crater sized potholes in our fair cities streets that could easily swallow my Honda Civic. In all fairness, I’m probably to blame for not driving a bigger vehicle.
