TSLBack to the film room. Tonight. A backyard pool. Two yards. One fence. Roll it.
TSLAttractive nuisance. The law doesn't ask if you invited the kids. It asks if you built something they can't resist. A pool is exhibit A.
TSLNext door. Same pool. Same sun. No fence at all. The gate's been open since Tuesday.
TSLThat's not an invitation. That's a duty. Arizona wrote the fence height into the code.
TSLThe Reasonable Man checks his gate the same way every day. Not because anyone's watching. Because a kid might be.
TSLAttractive nuisance doesn't care whose kid it is. It only asks whose fence wasn't closed. Fixing it now is cheaper than fixing it after. So. Is YOUR pool an invitation or a duty?
TSLComments. Be honest.
TSLStudy the film. Lock the gate. Next week. The neighbor's tree. Cut what hangs over the line. On your dime.
