Rhyme of the Erieau Mariner.....

Word Kitties,
Did you ever think that in the eyes of virtually everyone in the world, we are very lucky to be living in a village edged on 3 sides by freshwater? Come on Y'all, pure water is a reactant in life-sustaining aerobic cellular respiration, a cornerstone of sacrament in every major religion and absolutely delicious when added, in small volumes, to Crown Royal. Potable water, as a precious commodity, transcends even earthly need. Ask Tom Cruise and he'll tell you it's why Xenu and the Body Thetans chose to wage their intergalactic battles here on the shores of Lake Erie, nearly 18 gajillion years ago. So the bottom line is Freshwater rocks.Now, I know you're thinkin' "Krazy Legg's Cousin, if Freshwater is so Ghetto-Fabulous, why is the globe nearly 70% covered in Saltwater and why would anyone who lives on a peninsula in Lake Erie tear down a bar and put in a Saltwater pool... Fool?"

I'm not saying saltwater is bad news ...au contraire. Human bodies have salt water o' plenty. The concentration of Sodium Chloride in the human body is around 3.5 %, and that's pretty simpatico with ocean water. We use saline solutions to treat wounds, clean contact lenses and rim margarita glasses. In swimming pools, NaCl is a cheap, body-friendly and natural way to keep the water clean. Also, according to Archimedes, objects are lighter and more buoyant in salt water (except cell phones, Matinee Special Mild Menthols and car starters) and that's therapeutic for joints and bones and good for preventing Hangovers...so Eureka! maybe the pool was a good call. All I'm sayin' is maybe someday, instead of swimming at the beach, you should give a salt water pool a try. You could get some friends together and check one out .......in daylight hours, with a life-guard on duty and the pool owner's permission of course. Here's another therapeutic use of salt water from India ...try this when you're tired of swimming laps
