Descriptions, comments, polemics, and lies: Trust the architect of the
infamous "Hash Style Run" (no number, 2/6/94) to set all by himself? There
were several with long memories who cautioned against it, but others, who
apparently still suffer from the delusion that the human spirit is
changeable, if not ultimately redeemable, prevailed. And, of course we got
exactly what we deserved. It was not the run itself that was so bad; it
wound in more or less predictable fashion from the tow path, over the
little bridge (yawn) through the wet woods (snore), to Aqueduct road, and
thence to Route 1. A small problem here, as the pack was too stupid to
realize that the trail had to cross. Our slavish devotion to the notion
that the trail must follow the lone arrow provided - aimed, as is so often
the case, 180o from the true trail, was touching, if not effective. Finally
we crossed the road, picked up marks immediately, and were led to the hash
iconic John P. Moron Woods. Another 15 minutes of woods running and we
finished at an appropriately stagnant little pond hard by some excessive
monument to Corporate Greed. All in all, another vanilla effort, worth 5 or
6 Stegs on the PH3 Scale of Ultimate Worthiness. But then the crimes
mounted. Not only were there no softies, so poor old LRF, had he not had
the good sense to bail out during the Route 1 fiasco, would have been left
dry, but the Milqueman's version of beer was some hideous concoction
labeled "Natural Light" or, perhaps, even more monstrously, "Natural Lite".
Your Beloved Scribe was too shocked to take careful notice. "Light Beer", a
symbol of the degradation of a once vital society, a harbinger of the final
slide of a great nation into the abyss of mediocrity, this vile panther
piss, is NOT beer. 

OK, we need setters for the next two weeks as neither the Warbler nor The
Madam can make it. The Cuban Assassin can cover the 26th, but we are left
needing someone for next week. Toxic Waste?  Safe Sweats?  LLLama? Seals? 
Who hasn't set for a while?
