One list seemed to be about the latest things on their paid "HailState Plus" service and the other was just a daily update of athletics department happenings. I tried to unsub from the HSP messages, but I think it got all messages, and I'm okay with that. If I'd known, I'd have waited, because MSU is one of the campuses where both the men's and women's basketball teams are in the tournament.<br /><br /> Honestly, the main list was okay, if overwhelming. My biggest issue is that they suddenly started sending me stuff years after our last contact, with not even an opt-in "Hey, we see that you formerly contacted us and we would like to send you daily updates on our sports programs" message first.3423226http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/post2023-03-24T00:01:06+00:002023-03-24T00:01:06+00:00http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/personhttps://nu.federati.net/user/2lnxw48a1Main account.

It is an old rock quarrying town, so I suspect it was just rock debris suspended in the water. <br /> <br /> In Mississippi, the water came out yellow for a few days before getting clear again.
