Looks like once again I’m back in to Funny about Money, despite the last week’s hijinks.
Hallelujah, brothers and sisters! That’s surely some kind of little miracle.
It’s a gray, drab morning: 8:30 and no brighter than about 7 a.m.
Harvey the Beloved Pool Cleaner appears to be on the fritz. Looks like he’s stuck on on the bottom of the Hole in the Ground Into Which To Pour Money. I’m not sure whether this is Pool Dude Day — he comes around every week or so. But I’m unstuck in time and so have no clue whether this is one of his days.
If I stay here waiting for him, that will put the eefus on Ruby the Corgi’s doggy-walk.

Ah HAH! His glorious convict-like Cuteness arrived! Pool Dude is here! Out back and puttering away with the dratted…uhm, beloved swimming pool. And when we say DOG JOY, we do mean dog joy.
Yes: many of these guys are convicts. Pool cleaning is one of the trades for which prisons in Arizona train inmates. So, chances are pretty good that our beloved Pool Dude has seen the inside of a concrete cell.
That notwithstanding, he is a sweetie-pie. Just a very nice, very personable man. And he does a great job! So whatever he did in his previous career…I don’t much care.
As for Ruby: he could be Jack the Ripper and she’d still adore him.
