Apparently it had been real popular for people to throw empty bottles over the fence, and hear them smash into the empty pools.

It's not the focus of your story but this right here make me angry. I HATE litering. I don't enjoy confrontation but I have given complete strangers ass chewings in the middle of the street for it. I can think of few things more selfish and entitled than treating the world like it's your own personal trashcan.

My military training barely allows me to throw sandwich crust out the window. (There's a place here that makes AMAZING grilled cheese sandwiches, but somehow the crust get super dried out and hard.) We were so ingrained with not leaving evidence behind that I'll let my car become a dumpster of evidence of ADHD before I throw anything that a critter won't eat.

Edit: I also throw it hard enough that it clears the road and doesn't endanger my critter friends cleaning up after me.
