There was no time to sit by a pool provided for the homeowners in the complex we just left. Just as well, as the association are so paranoid about being sued they are making it as hard as possible to even sit by the water-filled death pit.

I was smelling the cow manure as it was explained to me that if a 2-year old kid vaulted the perimeter fencing of the complex, found its way to the pool area, broke through that fence and then drowned itself, all hell would break loose, legally. No shit.

Apparently it isn't good enough to have private property and enjoy your own pool. You have to have superbaby-proof private property and parental supervision facilities for all children in your city. I wish I was a lawyer dealing with a law suit from a negligent parent suing an association for having a fenced-in pool inside their own grounds. It would be with great pleasure that I counter-sued their ass for frivolous action and a waste of tax payers' money.

The builder in charge of the complex didn't see those remarks as funny, but then again, he is so overwhelmed with money from house sales, he doesn't know up from down right now.
