Better send Chessie down to get it or one day it will float back up and clog
up your filter for sure.
Or else if there's any life in it at all, it'll scrounge around on the
winter algae that's down there and the few leaves that somehow got under the
cover (and let's not forget all of the windblown tree worms), and then in
the middle of the night when the fog is real heavy it'll come knocking....
THUMP.... THUMP.... THUMP.........

Note:
'Chessie' is one of those little roving pool cleaners that bumbles along the
bottom of the pool and does the work for you. You know, the one that misses
all the little dips in the bottom of the liner cuz you never did get the
sand completely flat and people jumping in and jamming their heels into the
bottom made nice annoying pock-marks in your otherwise semi-flat blue
underwater landscape. For those who have above-grounds, anyway. When I lived
in MD on the Chesapeake Bay, it was natural to just call ours 'Chessie',
after the Chesapeake Bay legend a la the Loch Ness Monster. (Which I HAVE
seen. Chessie, not Loch Ness. It was either Chessie or a really big ugly
manatee who was waaaay off-course. Kinda like this post.)
Now that I'm in a different state with a different pool and different
cleaner bumbling along the bottom (or at least it will be when we too take
the cover off); we still call it Chessie. Habits, ya know.
(Man I miss the fog coming off of the Bay... we don't get fog in VA Beach.
Hmph.)
