Some Things Never Change

A couple months ago while hanging out at the base pool, a friend and I observed how there seems to be a hotbed of close activity between members of the opposite sex and one specific location in the pool.

And this is the family pool I am speaking about.

We would sit a chuckle over why/how the idea of this kind of closeness would even enter their minds while kids splash around them.  Kids that aren't even theirs.  Are they that deprived?  Are they that oblivious to the 50 families, kids in swim diapers, games of Marco Polo, life guards every 25 meters, and the fact they are hanging out by the swim lanes...swim lanes that have people wearing goggles?  

Received a text yesterday from my friend:

Why is there always "that couple" at the pool?  I swear if it was adult swim they would be getting busy.  Guess where they are...The middle of the pool!!!  Some things never change.

Good to know they at least they had the propriety to not scar the children around them for life!  

Made me a bit sad to read that text because if it wasn't for this bleeping PCS, I know I would have been parked right next to her laughing about the couple who can't keep their hands off each other. But another part of me was happy, because it is a reminder that while my life has changed, it is true that some things will never change. People come and go at a military base, but that area of the pool will always be popular! 

Life goes on!
