It’s difficult to imagine this chain of events, but here we are, documented with a photo.

A hot water pipe bursts. One person puts a used tire in the pool, another hangs a red-white striped warning tape to indicate that. If you cross that hot pool, please use the tire.

It’s dark and rainy.

Resident cat acts as a life guard, watching carefully 😳 😳 😳 – no swimming.

Not sure why cats hang in wet grass like that, but they seem to not mind it.
