At first some of their ideas seemed like reasonable ones...
http://www.statesman.com/blogs/content/shared-gen/blogs/austin/cityhall/entries/2009/01/14/plan_for_barton_springs_pool_u.html
Like adding bathrooms/changing rooms to the south side of the pool, which is where I usually hang out. And I guess paving the gravel parking strip on the other side of the south field would help prevent dust from reducing the pool's water quality. But on second thought, Austin is going through enough construction as it is that I really want just ONE landmark to stay the same forever. I'll walk all the way to the north entrance to use the bathroom so there won't need to be buildings on my pure, grassy hill. And as for paving the parking lot, I really just don't want it. If they were to pave it to reduce the amount dust kicked up, they should just pave most of Zilker so when all of its fields basically turn to dustlands in the late summer, they don't clog up the pool with excess dust either.
I realized that I barely talk about Olympia here.
So Olympia.....is....cloudy. It was sunny 30 minutes ago, but now it's cloudy again.
Da.
