Deep in the Heart of Darkness
The pool right outside my apartment, one of two in the complex, has been closed by the City of Fort Worthless. The posted sign states the reason as "to high chlorine." I don't know if this is shorthand for "due to high levels of chlorine" or a misspelling of "too high chlorine(-to-water ratio)." To high chlorine. Credit where it's due: Texas never runs out of new ways to surprise and horrify me.
