The last one In retrospect dumping the salt OUT OF the bags into wheel
barrow ( clean) spreading around the pool with shovel might of been a better
idea, to bad I didn't think of that.

What's "totally" illegal mean? And a cell phone's not
nearly as neat as having a pay phone hooked up. I have
a credit card phone hooked up here - it even gives the
AT&T Bong (my doing, it's not real). Pay phones are
neat. Long's you don't collect money for them.
