“Heroes get remembered, but legends never die. Follow your heart kid, and you’ll never go wrong.” — The Babe

Growing up in the desert, everyone either wanted a pool in their backyard or a friend with one. Those of us who weren’t so lucky were regulated to the public pools. And as a child of public pools, I can assure you, most lifeguards were nothing like Wendy Peffercorn.

When it’s hot enough to cook an egg on the sidewalk, you’ll find any excuse to take a dip in the water. It doesn’t matter if you’re the Great Bambino or an L7 weenie, the pool has a way of leveling the playing field.

WARNING: Stunts performed by an untrained professional. Do not attempt to iron in water. Side effects may include electrotherapy, sudden memory loss, the sort of trouble that gets you banned from the pool forever, and even death.
