3:00a.m. I wake to the sound of water running. First thought: someone has just been to the bathroom. The water continues to run well past the time that would take. 'Ok Wendy, did you forget to turn the water off?' The problem was I couldn't remember turning the water on? 'I best check, no point in wasting water. Get out of bed, check BOTH outside faucets, nope they are not running. Go back to bed, now I hear water hitting the outside of the wall my bed is against. 'Oh it must be rainning. But it wasn't rainning a minute ago. Get out of bed to check, nope, not rainning. Go back to bed, can STILL hear water. 'Maybe Breezy is up and her computer is on. Get out of bed, listen at Breezy's door. Nope, no computer. Go back to bed, still hear water. Get out of bed, check the side of the house. Yep, waters running. 'Oh crap, I have a busted water main!!!' Go back to bed, stress about my water line. Then it hits 'like a bolt from the black night' MY water main isn't on THAT side of the house. Get out of bed, find flashlight, check side of house. Yep, water IS hitting the side of the house. As the water hits me in the FACE I finally realize that my NEIGHBORS back yard watering system is ON and HIS sprinkler is hitting my house! Do you suppose I should tell him or just be a 'shadow in the night' everytime he waters? I think I'll tell him!!!!!
