Sign Of The Times...

Go Heels !!

Since Duke got a little play earlier in the week, figured it would be best to give the University of North Carolina equal time. 

UNC is located in Chapel Hill, a university community of the first order. The Town is a hotbed of mostly leftward leaning liberalism, cultural diversity, and unabashed advocacy of political correctness.  First cousin to Madison and Berkeley.

Also happens to be my hometown and the

Grass roots campaign...

university from which I was granted an undergraduate degree ( a B.S.) on a split vote of the Trustees - issued and conditioned upon a promise never to practice in that field. More of a parole than a graduation; both parties were relieved.  It was something of a "robust" undergraduate career.

Returned to Chapel Hill last weekend for a wedding which was held at the N.C. Botanical Gardens - an environmentally sensitive wedding with Mother Nature much in attendance. Even the wedding cake was green - an unusual combination of goat cheeses, tofu, and Brussels sprouts.  Can't say how it tasted, but the champagne was very nice and abundant.

But Chapel Hill demonstrated its full glory of correctness in the center's restrooms! Above every toilet and urinal was a prominently posted informational sign - in English, Spanish, Chinese and Braille - which read:

" We have reclaimed water from the gardens for use in flushing.  Please ...

Say What ??

.... do not drink the water."

Interestingly until that exact moment, I had never before considered drinking the water out of a urinal.  Have you?

But a college education is, after all, designed to introduce you to remarkable new ideas; certainly this was one.... 

...only in Chapel Hill !
