Aquabot Turbo T4

Sweltering city summers leave me wishing all sorts of things: that I'd gone to the gym more often (ok, at all) this past winter; that I'd break down and get air-conditioning;  and for the clear, cool comfort of a swimming pool in my backyard.  The later leads into fantasies about the pool boy (in my wish-world, I never do any cleaning)...but this isn't that sort of blog.

My fantasy world got a bit of a shake-up this morning when I read about The Aquabot Turbo T4, a robot that rides around your pool to clean the walls and floors, filter the water, balance the chemicals, and adjust the pool's temperature. 

Oh dear - how now how do I dream my day away?  Pool boys are lovely, of course, but they don't come with a remote control.  So picture me poolside, drink in one hand, remote in the other, and perhaps a lovely cabana boy to get me a towel. -[Star C. Foster]
