Some lazy unemployed person from the article said: "We live in the neighborhood, and so I'm not going to trek out to the beach for an hour when I can sit around and watch TV all day and go to the pool."

This is New York. It borders the ocean. And we're so close it's stupid. So when somebody is too lazy to go SIT ON THE BEACH, you know you have issues.

Yeah, but try starting a sentence with ellipses.

. . . it's kind of difficult.

I've been to a 4 container 2 story one and they're pretty neat in a strange kind of way.

I'm going to forward him the pool idea, he might like it.

until there's an ellipse character, i suspect it'll continue to be difficult.

"ellipses" is the plural of "ellipse."

"ellipsis" is a multiple period thing that indicates starting or ending in mid-thought...

The dumpster pool isn't that bad, remember we have the floating pool too. http://www.floatingpool.org/index1.html

Yes a pool that floats in a body of water. Let that sink in for a minute.

I remember when I was a kid, in the infield at Pocono Raceway was a dump truck filled with water in the same fashion. 1 dump truck + swimming pool liner + and some water = instant swimming pool.
