PoolsTopics: Pools, Staying Cool Buy a plastic pool to stay cool. I installed one on my balcony, filled it with cold water, and dove in. (Installed = nearly popped a gasket blowing it up.) Naturally, I feel like a kid again, but I am also cooler than I have been for a couple of days. You can save water by waiting for the inevitable rain, but if you fill it the water will be fine for a few days (just don't let the kids in!). I may have a pool party next week! RK I find that adding a capful of bleach every other day and topping it off with a bucket of new water kept our kiddy pool "fresh" for up to a week. Our balcony is rather narrow and long, so we use a rubber boat we got at the end of one summer at Seiyu for 600 yen. Happy splashing!
