WHY YOU DON'T WANT TO WAIT FOR THE SPRING TO START A POOL This summer has been hot, so very hot. You may have been one of the people fighting the crowds for good sand space at one of the Massachusetts' beaches. Maybe you are a beach person and were fine spending half a morning […]
THE WHOLE WORLD IS WONDERING WHAT IS WRONG The whole world is in a tizzy this morning about what happened to the Olympic pool in Rio and we cannot help but chuckle because it took us all but a minute to figure out the problem. Why, because we see it constantly and the call goes […]
