Newsflash…
No matter how much you water, the sidewalk will never grow.
Everywhere in the neighborhood, everyone (well almost everyone) is whipping their yard into shape, and many of those people need to be reminded, that no matter how much they water, the sidewalk will never grow.
There are 2 type of sidewalk waterers, the I don’t give a damn, and absent minded. The I don’t give damn’s, are those who could care less about anyone and feel that the sidewalk is theirs to do with as they please (well until there’s a problem, then the City had better be there as quick as possible to do any needed repairs) they are the ones with the built in sprinklers that water the sidewalk by design, not the sprinkler is a little out of whack and hits the sidewalk by accident. these are usually the same people that have too many cars, and think it is ok to park blocking the sidewalk, and usually do so. The good the thing is that these are the least common in the neighborhood, thankfully. There is the sub species of this type of waterer, that have the sprinkler on the hose, and these are normally not as bad, because there is normally a gap that you can pass by on.
The other type is the absent minded waterer, those are the ones (Me included) that turn on the water, and get involved with something else, and forget that the water is running, and the next thing you know the sidewalk in 2 inches of water or mud. The mud can be a real pain, because of the nature of the soil in this area and the high clay content, which can make for slippery situation.
So please pay attention to your watering, and be courteous of others….
