Which reminds me of something I just don't get...just down and around the corner from us is a fire station. In front, near the building is a memorial to those who lost their lives fighting fires. There is a plaque on the wall with names. Below, situated in a bed of decorative rock is a red fire hydrant from the top of which spouts a mediocre stream of water...it never really "fountains" up, it just sort of bubbles in blobs as it runs down over the edge. I don't know if it then recycles or not, but it seems such a waste, esp. in the summer, and absurd in the winter as they leave it on to turn to ice when the temps drop. I am all for a memorial, I just don't understand the thinking behind this one's design.
