I grew up one block from a Milwaukee County Park. It had an olympic sized outdoor pool, water slides and a diving pool. At night, late at night, it’d stand there fully lit, empty and still. Summer nights we’d stay up late partying, then head to the park for a swim. Climb over a low fence, up the high dive ladder and head first into a completely still, giant, empty pool. Crash into the summer water. Watch for the cops.</p> <p>I remember cops racing into the park to bust us, spotlights and speakers blaring, “Halt”. And us, tearing out of the pool back over the fence, running through back yards over tomato plants, jumping fences avoiding dogs, in the dark, with panting fat donut eating cops chasing us.</p> Pool Hoppin.

Nice call on Pets. That CD’s getting played tonight.
