Saved by Olaf

So nice of Tropical Storm Olaf to fade into a tropical depression, sending far less moisture up here from the Baja Peninsula over the weekend. Because after a few hours of chemical ministrations the green algae has been banished and the rancho pool is sparkling blue again. The water is too cold to swim, of course, but that’s why pool owners are called pool fools. Of course the forecast is for more rain through the end of the week, but if the algae returns it won’t be Olaf’s fault.
