I’ve been trying different exercises to lose weight, but I haven’t been swimming much (which is supposed to be low impact and all-around awesome). Also, I’ve always been skeptical about our apartment pool — I see so many people constantly in and out of it — especially kids. So today I thought “Hey man, it’s probably not that gross. Just go early morning, before everyone else.”

So I grab my towel and head to the pool, but the maintenance guy tells me it’s shut down for cleaning.

“So do you guys shut it down weekly for cleaning, or… ?”

“No, we only clean it when the front office tells us to. It’s the first time this year – so many people go in and out of these dirty things.”

You know what, today looks like a good day to go biking anyway. Forever.
