It was an early start for a group of five pickleball enthusiasts today, who showed up bright and early, paddles in hand, ready to hit the courts. And while everyone had some great rallies, it seems Oyster had a particularly challenging morning! The dynamic duo of Hitchhiker and Upchuck were clearly on fire, as they managed to defeat Oyster not once, but twice in quick succession. Ouch! While we don’t have all the details of the matches, it sounds like Hitchhiker and Upchuck were a formidable force, leaving Oyster and Faceplant to perhaps strategize for their revenge in the next…

According to the neighbors calling 911 with reports of noise violations, the following might have happened. Quick disclaimer. But, not THAT disclaimer.
