A Hygienic Disaster of Biblical Proportions ...
... I'll get to blogging about basketball, once I actually finish up all my assignments for the paper we actually print every day (Yeah, we still do that). But I felt compelled to make this public announcement.
If you run into a member of the media in Winston-Salem in the next four days or so, refrain from shaking their hand. While that's generally always a good rule to follow, I really mean it in this case.
Why? The bathroom situation for the press here at the LJVM is, shall we say, sub-optimal. First, even though we're in an actual building, we're having to use porta-johns. Granted, they're the upgrade type we use at the GGO, but still.
Second, the faucets didn't work in either bathroom. Trust me, I tried my darnedest to get some water out of them. I did manage to use some unconventional methods to wash my hands, but I'd rather not go into details. Frankly, I don't trust my colleagues to take the same steps I did to keep my hygiene levels at appropriate levels.
Thus, my warning about hand shakes. You'd do well to heed it.
