I'm going to have an 8-hour layover in Charlotte on Monday. I would love to spend that time at an outdoor swimming pool that has shower and locker facilities. Can anyone recommend one?

We have an in-ground pool in the back yard, and we're finding on average a bird or two a day floating in the pool or in the skimmer basket. On a couple record days we've found five and six.<br> <br> Of course, first I was all "BIRD FLU!!1", but the birds have plainly been killed by something - they have all the markings of something that's been mauled around a bit but not consumed or eaten.<br> <br> I've seen neighborhood cats in the back yard, and there's a huge, fat groundhog we call "Peachy", cause he eats the fruit off the ornamental peach tree, and there's a possum or two. I'm really curious about the dumping-them-in-the-pool aspect of the whole thing - if it's a cat, don't they usually lovingly drape dead things across the stoop or something? Is it a cat that's mad at me? Has Peachy gone utterly mad? Is it something else? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.39525 Mon, 05 Jun 2006 04:37:43 -0800 animals cats murder swimmingpools ersatzkat
