Fall was in the air
You know how on the last hot days of summer, you can convince yourself that, even with the heat, there’s a coolness lurking in the air? It felt like that, and looking an an empty swimming pool accompanied by the sounds of kids at the nearby school playground made it seem even more fall-like.
Until a few minutes later when it was just straight up a really hot and humid day…

A lovely, reflective swimming pool at a community center.

It’s a matter of priorities
For fiscal reasons, I am assuming, a lot of little towns forgo opening the municipal swimming pools during the summer.

Until next year
Fall at the City’s swimming pool looks like this. I’d like to say I could still smell pool chemicals in the air, but that’s overly poetic. And also not true.
But check out that big wooden electrical spool in the pool – what’s the deal with that?

No one swims
Singer/songwriter James McMurtry’s song “We Can’t Make It Here Anymore” sums it all up:
In Dayton Ohio or Portland Maine
Or a cotton gin out on the great high plains
That’s done closed down along with the school
And the hospital and the swimming pool
