Gusher

Off to the Pearl City Market Saturday morning. All was fine when we went in, but on our way out...

A van drove over the curb and hit a fire hydrant.

The water was, well you can see how high it was gushing into the air. We were going to walk across the street to Hongmei Lu Pedestrian street for lunch, but figured they would be shutting the water off to the area soon. Besides the street was flooding on that side. We would have walked in water 1.5 feet deep.

We grabbed a taxi and he turned around on the street and drove under the water for a free carwash. We got dropped off at Lamesa for lunch then walked the rest of the way home. Mama and I enjoyed a cold draft Bittberger.
