I came home to a friendly notice on my door this evening. Don't drink the water in Ramsey.
I thought it was tasting kinda funny lately.
Actually, it's tough to figure out the seriousness of this. I think it's likely that they're being super-cautious until they can figure out where the bacteria is coming from. And that most of the water is okay to drink (though I don't think it's gonna win any taste tests).
So, if you come to visit... no drinking out of the tap, okay.
The latest issue of the Fed (Columbia's Subversive Newspaper) is out and about.
I should also mention that I have some quotes in there. Some intrepid Fed reporter interviewed a bunch of us post-Feddies. The results are compiled under the title "Columbia's Least Employable Grads". Check it out!
One more tournament in the books. The last tournament before Sectionals (September 17-18). Chowdafest takes place in Seekonk, MA (right next to Providence, RI -- or, as I like to call it, Ass Town) at these beautifully maintained fields for the Wheeler School.
I took a couple pictures of the aftermath (and the beforemath).
How'd my team (Redrum) do? Well... not so well. You can see the results for yourself. We wont only one game, but we managed to maintain the #3 seed in the pool because we lost so many tight games. We went up with, comparatively, a very small number of players. And that may have been the biggest factor in our performance. You can be assured that we'll be coming out all guns blazing at Sectionals.
An interesting thing the UPA has been doing just in the couple years is keeping track of the performances of the various teams throughout the season. They call their system score-reporter. It contains information about tournaments as well as individual teams. And, by the time the Fall Series rolls around, it can give you a pretty good idea of the relative strength of each team.
As for Redrum: you can see our brief history in UPA sanctioned events. Eventually, Sectionals and Regionals will fill in and be lit up with little Green boxes. Redrum! Redrum!
