The latest issue of The New Yorker magazine includes a cartoon depicting a Halloween event. The MC is announcing, "And the award for the scariest costume...goes to the guy not wearing a mask." How true - at least in the US, which recently recorded almost 100000 new cases of Covid-19 in a day! But we've always made the same joke at our Halloween runs - and this year once more there were plenty of hashers who considered themselves scary enough in their own skins....

Almost 30 walkers and runners took part in a tour de Samford which began with a perambulation up and down Main Street before taking to the back blocks.

We celebrated Floater's birthday in the usual way. And we congratulated Escargot on the birth of her new grandson, Alexander. Mum and baby are evidently doing really well:
Finally, those who took part in the leaf art workshop Culture and Superhacker organised a month or two ago might be interested in these examples of Japanese leaf art which Strine came across. Anyone feel inspired?
