AN OPTIMIST IS....



An optimist is a driver who thinks that empty space at the curb won't have a hydrant beside it.

    I like the quote! That's a pretty hydrant, too.

    Oh yes. Or like my partner one who believes (and is often right) that a very crowded parking lot will have a park just for him close to the door.

      We do Valerie, on every street and sometimes more than one if it is a very long street. My neighbor's across the street has one, the only one, on our street.
      They are used for the fire engines if there are any fires. You peaked my curiosity so I went to YouTube to find out how one works. You can see the video here:

      Hydrant przeciwpożarowy ochłodziłby wszystkich w naszej gorącej, wilgotnej pogodzie :)

      :-) Thank you Penelope. The building is the museum I went to a few weeks ago on the University of Virginia.

    Hi Denise,
    Love the quote, over in England its a case of "the empty space will be without a parking meter".
    All the best,
    John

      So glad Christine, I rather liked it too. Nice when a photo comes out well, especially of something simple like a fire hydrant :)
