Yep, my driveway is clean and so is a portion of my lawn! I love when they decide to flush out the water system, especially since the fire hydrant is located on my property and they perform this task at about 1:00 in the morning. For those of you who don't know me, think sarcasm.
At least this time we weren't in the process of seeding our lawn. Luckily I hadn't recently cleaned the tubs and toilets either, since the system flush can result in standing silt in my facilities. And now I won't have to water my flower bed by the mailbox anytime soon. Oh yeah, the crack at the base of our driveway wasn't big enough already, so this should help with that, too.
I don't know a lot about fire hydrants, but I have to ask why they don't flush through the connector that points toward the street. Or at least the one aimed at my neighbors yard every now and then. The city worker must not like us or something. Perhaps they like us a lot - maybe they've seen my lawn in August, when it's usually brown and dry, and just figured they'd do a little preventative watering?
Maybe they knew I would be silly enough to take pictures and post it to my blog - everybody wants their 15 minutes of fame, you know, even the City of Comstock.

Funny Colleen! Are they loud when they do this?

You would think if they damage private property that they would have to pay to fix it. I guess they thought if did it when no one was watching they wouldn't get blamed. That's the government for you!

Yes, the fire hydrants can be loud when they do this, imagine a mini-waterfall.
Thanks for the info, June, I discovered he had read about this in a library book I'd checked out for Riley. I read all about it after the fact, and the book even had a little chinese symbol interpretation going on. He loves that book.
It was fate that I had a reason to discuss fire at all, but you know I would have eventually came up with something!
