"Swimming Pool Drama!"


TOWN TATTLER, February 5, 2009
.................................................................................

"A near tragedy was narrowly averted this morning in the Snail Hts Biosphere Project when "Lil Dude," a relative newcomer to the community, almost drowned in the swimming pool.'

"A morning onlooker, innocently surveying the pastoral swimming scene became DISMAYED when she realized that "Lil Dude" had remained in the SAME POSITION for several hours! Alarmed she attempted to throw him the tiny life preserver round thingee often found around swimming areas but she was UNABLE to break the glass to access same."

Just as all hope was (almost) lost, "Lil Dude" began climbing up the glass wall and lifted his head as if to say "WASSUP???" Then the the increasing number of onlookers GASPED as they saw a bright light spring up around the "Dude!"

Collectively they GASPED (!!!) upon seeing this ethereal GLOW and they, also, breathed a HUGE sigh of relief when they saw the little guy happily scampering up the wall. A resounding CHEER rose up from the crowd, "HURRAH!"

Hopefully, it will not be the LAST "HURRAH" for the spectacular and spunky newcomer."

The only one not terribly interested in the drama by the pool was "PIP" who, characteristically, showed little or no concern and was only planning a mid morning nap!"

The "Fat Man"

The "Fat Man"
We find him strangely intriguing but they won't let us at him. I think they just want to torment us. Life sucks. One of these days me and Bob are going to get him.

This is the sink we hid under last week.
