SigEp was the fraternity with all the cute boys at my college.

Glad the reference hit home.

SigEp was the frat I had friends at and went with it. Certainly better than the yahoos in PiKe…who got kicked out of UMass twice.

I don't know, there was one cute guy in Pike, too, at my school at least, not UMass. We are actually planning on checking out UMass in the spring for my junior. We've heard that their cafeteria food is rated among the best for colleges. This appeals to my daughter.

And to keep this on topic, they take better Covid precautions than my older daughter's school in Florida, but then again every colllege takes better Covid precautions than those in Florida.

Sewage monitoring seems to have turned the corner in Boston. We’re a couple weeks behind MA so should be close to peak.

I was there 01-05. Loved my time there, but it may have well been a lifetime ago in terms of campus quality. They have modernized/dumped a ton of money into the campus since I graduated.

Western MA is super eclectic place. Amherst was cool (smaller strip than Franklin St), Northampton is awesome. The rest of the towns around it are mostly woods. UMass is bigger than UNC student pop wise, but the town is roughly half the size of CH.

I guess there is a twitter handle for COVID poops which apparently reports out other metros on that metric.

I’ll check COVID poops off my 2022 Bingo card. Nice way to end the day after hearing about Ronnie Spector.

Man WRAL is so damn incompetent. They're reporting 44k new cases today when right on the front of the NCDHHS page it says that includes 11,000 positives from beginning of January.

Honestly it's probably not even incompetence. I'm sure they read it.



So tired of the BS.

I don't know that it's incompetence, but it's substandard reporting in this instance - they should have dug deeper, this one wasn't hard.

They love the drama, but they corrected it on the 5 pm broadcast.
