When Neighbors Attack
Jim over at Jimspot made a rather startling discovery about his pool recently:
So, out to the pool I go... it's an ARROW!!! ... Not a toy, mind you, an honest-to-goodness, real arrow shot from a bow. It was embedded in the side of the pool, too, so it must have been shot over the fence.
The ultimate culprit: teenaged boys. Which should surprise absolutely no-one. I'm amazed any male manages to get through the ages of 12-22 alive. Myself included.
The place I used to live used to get holes in the windows from BB guns... Three times - and the neighbors paid for it twice - the third time, they had the kid do yard work to pay it back - in my yard - at my suggestion. It didn't happen a fourth time. ;)
But an arrow embedded in a swimming pool??? I was bewildered till I actually clicked the link and found out it was an above-ground vinyl thingy. I don't think anything less than a crossbow bolt would embed in our pool...
