There are some things I just don't understand.

For example, how can you spend 15-20 minutes* playing around in a farm pond filled with rain and ground water, and turtle poopy -- a pond that is in the process of having an algal explosion, by the way-- and then object to being hosed off with clean city water?

* Weather permitting, each day we spend about 30-45 minutes in the pasture, about half of which they spend in the pond.
