Ultimately, I think either Professor Stroud or, more likely, Dean Stroud. It all comes back to WA. Dean Stroud will be Woodward Academy's longest serving Dean. He'll spend his years helping to sculpt the type of wizards worthy of Callamandia.

While I could actually see that being true, I think the truth is a little more difficult for us to comprehend.

Yes I can see a ultimate Dean--in charge of--Woodward academy David Stroud

I can't see him as Dean of WA, or as a professor there; he has fought every instance where he was put into an instructional position, except the one-on-one helping with a specific task instances.
David has said that he wants to help people and would go so far as to move to Earth to work as a PI to do so. With that in mnd, I have to agree with Joe's conjecture that David could be the Rhimohr Commissioner. He would have a wide influence to help in that position.

I hope you're feeling ok Eric. Been a long time since we ended up waiting this long for a finished chapter.
You still mad at me or something?

He simply said he’d post it on the 1st, now that could be 12:01AM or 11:59PM, just have to have some patience.

True, but past history that I've seen tends to have Eric giving a short message indicating why he wasn't going to post it around one or two a.m. eastern time. I'm just concerned because it seems to be out of Eric's norm. I hope everything is ok and he's either tired or dealing with some minor real world shit.

Update for September 1, 2020:
So... I didn't say WHICH September 1st I'd post it on, did I?
I do apologize, but this chapter is going to be delayed slightly. I am attempting to do the final proofread of it before posting. I say "attempting", because I haven't been feeling well the last couple days, and I'm finding it very hard to focus on the task. Hopefully I will still get it posted today at some point, but as of right now, I'm not even halfway through it.
Rest assured, it will be posted as soon as I can focus well enough to get the job done.

PS: I was ASLEEP at 1:00am Eastern Time, thus making it difficult to post anything.

Take the time you need Eric! I've gotten quite good at waiting for the next chapter of something (I blame RR).

Update #2 for September 1, 2020:
The Woodward Academy, Year 8, Chapter 5: October has been made public.
The Woodward Academy, Year 8, Chapter 11: April has been posted to PRM.
Four donors had their special access expire today. I have given all of them one extra day, due to my failure to post this chapter on time.
Chapter 12 will be posted on October 1.

PS: I still feel like crap, so if there are any nasty typos I missed... sorry.

Thank you, but just to clarify, I am not "sick". I "don't feel well".
I have medical conditions. They ease, or they get aggravated, but they never go away, so I cannot "get better", as such.
The last few days I've had trouble sleeping, and my IBS has kicked into high gear. It saps my energy and causes all the ickiness that an intestinal problem invariably causes.
Hopefully, all this will eventually settle back down, but... who knows?
I appreciate the sentiment, anyway.

You could always drink a colonoscopy prep and clean out the problem 🤣
just a joke. Feel better soon.

Note to self: Create character named "Josh Bond". Kill character off by having hot poker shoved up his ass while his dick is being slowly sliced off with a dull razor blade and his balls are being eaten by fire ants.
Just a joke...

I just got a bidet yesterday after dealing with multiple burning shits a day for years and boy that cold water is heavenly.

Wait until February. It becomes less heavenly, and more Haven-ly.

Unless you're in the north country and then it doesn't matter WHEN you get hit by cold water --- that sh;t is COLD

If you live up there, you're supposed to be used to it, you pansy. LMAO j/k

Minnesota buries their water mains way deep and the water in the stays cold (IIRC, around 40 deg F) year round. That's the temp of the water coming out of the hoses during high summer, as well as the taps inside.
Texas only buries them about 10ft down in most places and the water is nowhere as cold out of the tap as in MN.

I believe you mean inches. In the hottest part of summer I can turn the shower on full cold and be warmer than when I'd swim in Lake Superior as a kid.

I hate to put a damper on all the Texas-bashing going on here, but this has nothing to do with Texas burying their pipes more shallowly.
The "mean earth temperature" in TX is in the 70's. The MET in Minnesota is around 50. After you reach a certain depth (and that depth is somewhere around 30'), the ground temperature is more or less constant. Neither depth nor seasons have an effect. This is called the "mean earth temperature". Thus, if both places buried their pipes 40' down, Texas would STILL have water 20º warmer than Minnesota.
DOES Texas actually bury water pipes closer to the surface? Probably. Why? Because the deeper you bury the pipe, the more expensive it is to install and maintain, and, unlike MN and other northern states, Texas doesn't have to worry about their pipes bursting from freezing water temperatures near the surface and frost heave breaking the pipes from movement.
