For the second time this summer that I’m aware, the local pool was cleared for what is technically labeled a fecal release but is popularly called poop in the pool.

It seems overwhelmingly likely it was a daycamper, as they were hanging out in that end of the pool; it wasn’t in the zero-level entry end where it might actually have been an accident from the toddler contingent. When I think of how one smartaleck ruined the day for so many people, I’m thinking a ruined summer might be the appropriate response if the culprit were identified.
