Pool toys walk the plank - arrrr!

Inflatable pool toys.

I made 'em walk the plank, right into the trash can. Why?

Because we don't have a pool! And none of my kids' friends, the ones who do have a pool, have any interest in inflatable noodles and beach balls! Nobody wants 'em, can't give 'em away!

Once upon a time, we had a pool. And so did my parents. Now our pool is gone, replaced by a garden, and my parents have moved.

And, so, mateys, I refuse to be held hostage any longer by some pieces of plastic and air. Avast!

It's nice to see a little bit of empty space opening up. The trick will be not to fill it right back up again!
