Once in a while, I like to observe people around me. Not just while I'm driving and checking what people in other cars are doing (picking nose? shaving?), but also when something odd catches my eye.
Today, I spent a few minutes looking at my neighbors. For the past 2 weeks or so, they have been working really hard in their yard, making space for a pool. They actually moved a real playhouse (none of that plastic stuff...this puppy has shingles!), leveled out the soil, built (from scratch) two sets of steps, and a small deck. Wow. They must be getting a really nice pool!
Wait, the frame they are putting up looks a bit flimsy...Is that the liner or the actual pool? Won't splinters from the deck/stairs puncture it? What happened to the panels, etc? Ooo they've got half a dozen evergreen bushes, nice! Paving stones too. What da fudge?! Nah, that can't be it.
Yup, that is it. My neigbhors have pimped out their pool area, but forgot to invest a larger portion of their budget on a decent pool that will withstand winter. I just don't get people.
