i-lek'tra-kyoot'

Any of you know what that spells? Maybe Cooper might and Chandler for sure.

Electrocute - a noun - meaning to kill or execute with electricity (from Webster's dictionary)

That is just what Alvin almost did to himself the other day. This is what happened.
You must know that we have too many trees in our front and back yard that sheds too many leaves every winter. So, Alvin has a very strong high amps blower that he dearly loves. On yard days you can always see him using this precious piece of yard equipment.

We have a pool in our backyard and he was blowing the fallen leaves off the cooldeck. The wind was blowing a bit so he stepped back to get the ones that had blown into his already clean area. Two or three steps too many and he backed into the 47 degree swimming pool. His first thought was he was going to die but somehow he was able to throw the blower from his hands on to the cooldeck. That surely saved his life from electrocution. I am so glad you are still with us Alvin.
