Calm after the storm

24 hours after the storms raced through this last Sunday there were still drifts of hail on the ground in some parts of Samford. The torrential rain that accompanied it also slowed our journeys across town to the Rocks Riverside Park, and it was after 4:15 that we set out. But Samford Hash runs and walks, come rain, hail or shine!

The trail, of course, had been completely obliterated, so we followed some verbal directions and did a bit of exploring upstream along the river bank. The clouds moved on, some late sunbeams broke through, and the storm was succeeded by a calm and peaceful twilight. Aaaaah....


We welcomed B Flat and Malpractice, who had joined with Superhacker and Hopalong to host the run. It was good to see them again and to enjoy one of Malpractice's recitations. Thanks, hares!


We were also joined by a couple of visitors from Tokyo - World Wide Whore and Tunnel of Love. They took part in a traditional welcoming ceremony, and will bear our greetings back to Where's the Beef? and In Your Dreams.


Next week's run will celebrate Halloween. You'll find reminders of some previous occasions on which we've left off our makeup and appeared as our genuine selves here, and here, and here....

It's also time for us to move to a 5 pm start time for summer. Remember this if you arrive at next week's meeting place and find you're the only one there!
