picture it: Louisville, June 24, 2010

there's a girl who had a long day at a place where village people can stay when they are short on the dough. and where those same village people can get their self clean, maybe have a good meal. she rides the public transportation system further into the heart of boulder to meet a friend in order to partake of yummy margs and some casual conversation. good times were had. she then ventures back to that public transportation and makes her way out of the depths of the boulder valley area and up the hill to mayberry where all is well and happy. she moseys in to her very hot home, as the colorful state doesn't believe in air conditioning, and opens up windows and turns on fans. she proceeds to get some ice and then heads to the faucet to fill her cup of refreshing goodness. as she's turning away from the faucet something catches her eye. it's large. it's white and blue. it's large. it's ruining the beauty and tranquility of her back yard. she turns around, looks again and notices that her neighbor, whom she shares a backyard with, decided to buy an above ground swimming pool without asking any of the other tenants. this said neighbor apparently doesn't think that her rabbit cages, plethora of tom cats and other critters, not to mention the countless other junk, er i mean treasures, that are stowed away in the back yard is enough. a pool should be back there too. a pool. the girl ponders why the neighbor would buy a pool. is this okay with the crazy landlord who freaks out if you buy a door handle that's $20 because that is somehow too much? as there is a price limit on safety. and it's really cheap. will the landlord freak? when the landlord gets her water bill and it's sky high, will the said landlord decide that maybe tenants who don't ask if they can have a pool in their backyard need to start paying their own water bill? oh the questions, oh the questions. if that's the case. the girl will be very upset with her cuckoo magoo neighbor. and will decide that maybe cuckoo magoo neighbor can pay crazy landlord for water from here on out.

side note: girl also notices that other neighbor who works so hard to make the backyard a garden of delight, peace and tranquility is pacing ever so nervously and pissedly while puffing cigarettes as if there is not tomorrow. why the eye sore in her backyard of bliss? i'm sure she too is also wondering what crazy landlord is going to say. will this be the straw that breaks the camel's back? will crazy landlord flip her lid?

we shall see, we shall see!
