Having a friend who has an outdoor pool is a blessing.

I spent an entire summer, after graduation from high school playing billiards in the summer sun room and swimming in the back yard pool. In and out we went, playing some, swimming and getting some sun in. I had made this into an art. My friend's dad sometimes got angry when other people dropped cigarette butts on the ground around the pool while I painstakingly picked each one up and finally put my foot down saying, "You can't come over here to swim if you're gonna smoke or no more pool understood?" They listened, but one day they came by and were so darn drunk that one of them hit his nose on the pool floor after a nose dive into it.
