postcript: raison une - she has no problem with painting her nails in public. at the park. despite the fact that the mothers sitting next to us thought there might be some kind of toxic fume leaking from the ground. we clarified that it was just OPI.

a moment of silence...

the griffith park pool is officially closed. today when the lifeguard cooed, "thanks - see you next summer!" from his watchtower perch, i seriously felt like crying.

we learned a lot about public bathing this summer:

• the public pool is a cross-section of your community - griffith park attracts latino families, eastern european seniors who float about aquacizing and talking, cops who like to tan, hungover/pale/anemic hipsters in vintage bathing suits, a few semi-professional (or at least very serious) synchronized swimmers, semi-serious lap swimmers and people without air conditioning

• eating is only allowed on the adjacent lawn area, even if it's only trail mix

• there is no dilly-dallying around the edge of the pool - if you take too long getting into the water, you will get yelled at

• pictures are not allowed due to problems with pedophiles

• occasionally someone has "an accident" in the pool and everyone has to go home early

• at $1.25 for adults and free for persons with disabilities or a library card, the pool is, by far, the best deal in town
