I just started up running again after a break and I went out on my usual municipal multi-use pathway. About halfway into my morning run I realized I was thirsty. I then realized that it was mid January. Then, I realized that cities always shut of outdoor water fountains in the winter. I then realized that I was boned. That is, until I came upon the next drinking fountain on my route. It bore the following inscription.
ATTENTION:
This is a freeze-proof drinking fountain. Please hold the button down until the water begins to flow. It will remain active year-round. Sorry for the convenience.
Freeze-proof drinking fountains saved my bacon. That's what's awesome!
