On on! (that's what Hashers call out when they're on trail, also a general greeting for correspondence such as this)
I have heard that there are other Hashers here in EB, but not sure who. I have been a long-time Hash runner, for over 20 years now. My EB tag is actually a contraction of my Hash handle.
For those who have no idea what the hell I am talking about, or think I am talking about drugs, I am not. The Hash House Harriers is an international running club, very loosely organized, with thousands of groups or "kennels" spread throughout the world and the U.S. Although every Hash is different, the basics involve a run, usually off-road, where the "hounds" chase after the "hares", followed by some sort of gathering centered on the quenching of thirst with beer, and the telling of stories and jokes at each other's expense. It's all in good fun, and people who run regularly are given Hash names (or handles) as a sign of respect and belonging with the group. If you've never run one, I highly recommend it. You can usually walk most Hash runs, and they are a great motivator for staying fit.
This weekend my Home Hash, the Saipan Hash House Harriers, located in the U.S. Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, had a terrible accident. Here's a link to a local newspaper article from today, which is more or less accurate:

And a link to a gofundme site to raise money for the two most injured guys:

If you are a Hasher, or not a Hasher, and you feel so inclined, please think about throwing a little money into the fund because these guys are going to need it. And if you are a Hasher, please also think about sharing the link with your kennel.
