Our current pool is in full sun all day, and has a dark bottom. Even with that, the water temp rarely gets higher than the mid-80s. Of course, the cooling effect is directly related to the temperature differential between the air and water.

My response was that by then I would be in my 70s and would likely enjoy the shade.

We bought the house 11 years ago, and the pool was already there. I wouldn't choose to build a pool in my yard. Ironically, my company builds pools.
This is the kind of pools we build (Occidental College, Los Angeles)...

Last night was probably the worst night of my life, and what makes even worse, I will have to experience again and again until June 2nd.
Long story short I am operating on zero sleep on my first of only 2 days off.

Here's a bunch of belated replies:
Played the audio from this concert at the shop early last week. Made for a good day
I saw David Byrne's "American Utopia" tour in Chicago a few years ago. One of the best concerts I've ever seen.
I got tested for free without a long wait Wednesday 1/13. Received results early this morning 1/21 
. Positive 
bam's new job is flying a 737, not an Airbus, IIRC
Whenever SSS and I go somewhere, I find myself taking one or two pictures of any interesting places we go just so I can scroll back through an album and remember what things looked and felt like.
