Local TV did a news report about the new pool drain cover law. I happened to be in the YMCA pool at the time and so got on the news. They were looking for someone with a God-like physique and blinding speed, but they got me instead. Unfortunately, I was just doing a slow-ish (about 46-47 sec/50 yards) straight 2000 yard recovery swim, so nothing exciting. Still, I had never seen myself swim before - weird...
The bottom of the pool was FILTHY yesterday - I've never seen it so dirty.
In all cases, I am the closest/only swimmer.

Congratulations on excellent screen performances by both Leonard and Doug.
Chekhov supposedly declared once that if you have a gun at the beginning of a play or story, the author has an obligation for that gun to go off by the end of the drama. It is for this reason that i was REALLY looking forward to seeing Leonard being sucked into the drain, only to be saved by the muscular lifeguard whose frequent appearances seemed to me to foreshadow his almost certain role as hero.
But no.
Leonard simply paddles gracefully and ever so safely back and forth, back and forth, almost as if in mockery of the pool suction law!
I say we should combine both videos and see if we can get Jason Lezak to agree to be sucked violently down the drain, only to somehow manage to summon enough power and fortitude to emerge in tact at the very end!
