From the beginning: Greg's post on June 6
Only in Japan
Every school in this country has a concrete-lined outdoor pool. I don't know why, they just do. And since they don't cover them in the winter months, they're always foul when it comes time to use them in the summer. Ergo, I just spent all afternoon (Wednesday afternoon!) cleaning the pool with the PTA. It's now a sparkling blue. Can you picture this happening back home?
Kitty Mum's e-mail reply:
Yes. Greg. I did scrub and paint the pool; each year at the farm. No wonder I have an aching back. But I loved doing stuff like that. Now you really do know I'm strange. There was a drop box for the spring water to go through before it hit the pool; and that box had quite a collection of live stock in it after a winter of hibernation. I'd try to empty so all the drek wouldn't go into the pool. Using a siphon for that purpose. One year I inhaled too powerfully to ge the flow started and I got a good sixed, live frog in my mouth. UGH!
GOD BLESS AND LUV MUTTI

Hello--mother you are doing a great job keeping up and communicating! I also remember a bleached frog from over-vigorous application of cleansing chemicals....hope that wasn't the one you later slurped!!
Greg--welcome to the club--does this mean you will soon be swimming in the pool?
love to all...Beth
