On April 23, 1985, the New Coke formula was announced by CocaCola after taste tests suggested people preferred it. The backlash was so intense that the company brought back the original formula just 79 days later.

“Tarantulas, scorpions, frogs, turtles and snakes…oh my!”
Those are just some of the creatures you’ll get to meet at the Reptile Show on April 4. The show is sponsored by SPARC, our resident services partner, in cooperation with Thors Reptile Family.
As I suggested last month, come for the Pizza, stay for the creatures. I’m told that snakes love being petted. Your kids will love that! Just make sure they sign up. I’ll have a report on the event for you next month.
• Do you remember when Pool Season didn’t start until Memorial Day? Last year, we tried an experiment—opening the Pool on April 1. Based on last year’s success, Pool Season will start on April 1 again this time. Have fun!
You’ll find a reminder about the Pool Rules later in this Magazine. Please pay particular attention to the need to wear only “manufactured swimwear.” That’s to protect the Pool Filter.
• SPARC is taking applications for a SPARC College Scholarship starting April 1, a month earlier than past years. The deadline is July 1, also a month earlier. That was mentioned in last month’s Magazine, but I wanted to make sure you knew.
Rancho del Sol has had 9 winners in the past 7 years. Let’s keep it going!
• Recent complaint: residents not able to pick up their mail, due to the Mailboxes being blocked by street parking violators. Not very neighborly! Please be considerate, and allow Mailbox access.
Which reminds me
Q. Did you hear the one about the unstamped letter?
A. Never mind. You wouldn’t get it.

Have a Happy Easter and a fun St. George’s Day (April 23).

Easter
Dear Friends and Families of Rancho del Sol, Winter just ended, Spring flew by in a week and poof it’s Summer already. At least that’s what is starting to feel like outside. With that in mind, Who’s ready for the pool to open… ME TOO!!! It will be opening on April1st.
With the pool reopening, I have included the pool rules to remind everyone what will have to be enforced in order to keep the pool open. Proper swimming attire, long hair needing to be tied, rinsing off each time you enter the pool area before entering the pool and proper resident adult supervision are the main constant violations throughout the years I’ve noticed.
Directly from the Rules and Regulations for Rancho del Sol

The tradition of chocolate Easter bunnies dates back to 19th century America, which borrowed it—and the Easter Bunny from Germany. Sales started to take off around 1890, after a Pennsylvania man named Robert L. Strohecker featured a 5 chocolate rabbit in his drugstore as an Easter promotion.

Psychiatry students were attending their first seminar. It was on emotional extremes. The professor wanted to establish some parameters, so he asked what they would say was the opposite of joy.
"Sadness," replied Mr. Nichols.
Ms. Biggs defined the opposite of depression as elation.
"And Mr. Martin, what is the opposite of woe?"
Bubba replied, "I believe that would be giddyup!"
A man is stopped by police for speeding and the officer asks him for his license.
"I don't have one," the man says. "It was taken away for drunk driving."
So the officer asks for the man's vehicle registration.
"I don't have one," the man says. "This car is stolen and I've murdered the owner and stuck him in the trunk."
At this point, the officer calls for backup and in no time 10 police cars surround the stopped speeder.
The sergeant on the scene approaches the car and orders the man to open his trunk. He does and it is empty. The sergeant then asks for the man's driver's license. The man pulls out a valid license and vehicle registration.
"I don't get it," the sergeant says, "My officer here says you told him you had no license or registration and that you stole this car."
The man shakes his head and says, "I bet that liar told you I was speeding too."
