Blue Hole

Wright City once boasted a legendary local swimmin' place known as "Blue Hole".

Local lore held that this ubiquitous farm pond sitting in the middle of a pasture had limitless depths. Many had tried, or so the story goes, but none could hold their breath long enough to find the bottom.

Lately the gosh darn moss has near taken over the Tin Star Ranch pond. Eschewing herbicides, the ole fat boy decided to dump a dye in the water to block the UV light and halt photosynthesis by the moss.

The industrious salesman at Tractor Supply solemnly promised satisfaction with no actual discoloration.

The "salesman" lied like a tall dawg.

The water is now the deepest color blue on the planet and history has repeated. We got a Tin Star "Blue Hole" for all the world to see.

(Now if the damn moss will just cooperate and "die")
