You can't really see the water much, but it's coming out with a nice splashy-gurgly sound.
It started as a little trickle. Then somebody dug around it with a shovel, and it was a little worse. The Friday before Memorial Day they brought out a back hoe and dug it up real good. They also brought out a replacement fireplug which they left on the sidewalk until at least today. I can hardly wait to see what it looks like when I get home.
And I have been trying to get that patch covered in grass since they rebuilt the street before Katrina. Every time I get close, there is some reason for digging it up again. :rolleyes:
