The other night, right after work, my wife went for a nice cool-down swim\u00c2\u00a0in our pool.<\/p>\n

While happily splashing around she suddenly noticed she wasn’t alone in the pool.<\/p>\n

Calmly and quietly she left the pool and called me at work, asking me to come home and escort the intruder off our premises.<\/p>\n

Which I did.<\/p>\n

Here’s a link to a picture I took of the intruder prior to urging him to leave.<\/a><\/p>\n

(Disclaimer: my description of the manner in which she left the pool may be slightly in conflict with reality)<\/p>\n
