'When I hear the shooting, I stay down and away from the windows,' said Cheryl Galyeam. 'There are times I've had to get on the floor in the middle of the night.

'All of this is ludicrous,' said Egge.

'I thought, "oh my God, what next?"' said Galyeam in reference to the pool.

At first, they said it was just a few RVs. Now, the number is over a dozen.

A well-placed volley from a pellet gun might solve the problem temporarily.

With a capital P that rhymes with T and that spells trouble (or something like that)

How many drowned drug addicts will it take to shut the pool down?

I think it’s a good idea. They can pour cattle Dip meds in the pool to cut down the lice and tick problem.

Who provides them swimming suits?

It won’t be long before that pool becomes nothing more than a giant toilet.
