Murphy. Hates. Me.

I can’t have a get-together involving the pool. It’s just not possible. If the weather manages to cooperate, the pool doesn’t. Ignore the pool for a few days, and the chemicals just go completely out-of-whack. It was such a beautiful day. The water temperature was ideal. You just couldn’t see the bottom of the blasted pool, due to the lovely dead algae. Of course, we couldn’t find the problem before the pool stores closed on Saturday. Amazingly enough, Wegmans had liquid chlorine and algicide, but it was just too late. BTW, how on earth do you spell “algicide”? That really doesn’t look right. :P
