My body has taken a turn toward the absurd.
I've been swimming laps 5 days a week for a bit now. Our local pool is a nice 25-meter number, gets heat from the nearby hot spring. There's a nice soakin' pool attached to the lap part.

Anyhoo.

The critical point is that it's an outdoor pool.

This evening I stepped from the shower to glance in the mirror and discover...






...I have a Speedo tan line. :eyes:

Good lord, if I'm in a car accident, people at the hospital are gonna assume I'm European! Or at a minimum Canadian!! :D

4. Yeah--if you have a fence, swim in the buff
In MN we are required by law to erect (I'll leave that one alone) a fence around a pool.

6. LOL!
Public pool. :) I think the only thing sillier would be a thong, frankly.

9. Just keep a US flag pasted to you at all times!
Do not worry - this is not an emergency - but a special unit from the Homeland Security American-Identification In Foreign Countries Program is on its way to your home to help you through this trauma and give you the tools and tips you need to make sure you are never mistaken for a Canadian. Calm down, be still, they'll be there as soon as they can. But whatever you do, don't leave your home - there is too much risk of you being misidentified in case of accident.
