This is me cleaning the Polar/Grizzly pool for the VERY LAST TIME. After over NINETY years! I am honored to have been the last keeper to clean it.

I look like I am having fun, but seriously, this was terrible. Right before this picture was taken the hose split open on me and dosed me in green/algae/dead fish/meat/grizzly bear hair water. I then had to haul a brand new hose through all of the gates back to the pool and have someone help me to attach it so that I could finish the work as quickly as possible since it was almost 5 o'clock. 

It was seriously a disaster. Can’t say I was too upset to say goodbye to that task!
