Peanuts Pool Story

…As soon as I mentioned skateboarding he was like “Oh no way” “They’re gonna be building new houses here. It’s city property now”
So I drive away. Couple days later we sneak in, test for electricity…

Last January I had me some ear surgery. (surfers ear) They did the roto- rooter thing. So I had a week off. A few days into the week I started driving around. Always a snoopin for some pool action. Low and behold I found an area that had been fenced off. Earlier in the year I looked at this property and saw me a really nice looking kidney with a spit gutter. Anyway the property was fenced. There was a caretaker on the property so I decided I would rap with him. As soon as I mentioned skateboarding he was like “Oh no way” “They’re gonna be building new houses here. It’s city property now”
