Ain't it amazing that the kids can convince you that need that pool. "Dad, we'll clean it" Yeah - sure, twice, maybe!!!

Hot tubs - what a frickin' waste. Most of the new houses around here either have a hot tub or a bathroom 'spa' or both. I don't know a single person that uses them after the first 3-6 months.
