hydrant, in the sun
I had a conference in Las Vegas. Have I mentioned that I am not one of those people who go to Las Vegas for fun, and in fact I am a person who goes out of the way to avoid it.
But it was a conference that had some stuff I needed for my (real) job, so off I went.
The conference hotel was…not great. Everyplace inside smelled like cigarette smoke from the casino and it was almost impossible to get from one place (like your room) to another place (like the conference center) without having to walk through the smoke-cloud of a casino.
However, there WAS a thing called the “Zen Walkway” or something that did allow visitors to have a chance to breathe actual, non-toxic air. And to photograph a fire hydrant.
(Disclosure: I bitched about Vegas the whole time I was there. And then on the day I came home, I got sick. It’s the karma version of “the house always wins.”)

that was not a new leak
Based on the amount of slick green moss and rotting leaves in the large puddle next to the leaky fire hydrant, I am going to make a wild guess that maybe the leak’s not something that just started earlier that same morning.
A Report from the Research Department*: Google street view from December of 2021 does not show a leak.
