Day 1006

A while back, I posted a photo of the Siamese sprinkler connection at left, focusing on the improvised metal cage attached to it: "It's not one of the more vicious anti-butt devices I've seen, but at least it's trying harder than this one."

It somehow didn't occur to me at the time that this connection is located way too high on the wall for any reasonably sized person to sit on without leaping. Does this mean the little cage has some other purpose that's beyond my imagination, or is it just the result of a paranoid property owner's overzealous crusade against loiterers? For what it's worth, I saw several other anti-sitting fixtures on sprinkler/standpipe connections today; most were at comfortable lounging heights, but one other was also located up above butt level.
