I am sure by now everyone knows about Baggy Organ's accident. If not, please read the Medford Mail Tribune article, or read a report of the accident from an eyewitness. Then open up your heart and pocketbook. Two funds have been created to help with Baggy's medical expenses. Money is coming in from hashers all over the world. You can help, too, by donating whatever you can afford - even if it's one dollar.

Here's what happened. Second Cuming, Family Jewels, Baggy Organ, and I, Bare Chambers, went out for a run/walk bike ride on Sunday morning January 6, 2002. Since Baggy and I each had a bad foot, we were going to bike/walk while Second and Jewels ran on the Toothpick trail. All started well with Baggy and I riding on the flat wide parts of the trail and walking on the steep or narrow parts. Soon Second and Jewels were out of sight and we were doing fine. We came to the place in the trail where there is a sharp hairpin bend about 1 mile from Toleman Creek Road.

The Hash House Harriers became a part of my life in the fall of 1981. We had arrived in Taipei for a sabbatical year where I was doing some writing and some teaching. We were living in Tienmou, a district that once housed some of the American military personnel and was still a residential district favored by foreigners.

Globally the hash is aging. At the Interhash in Wales last summer, the average age was 47. That is only two points above the average hasher IQ. Can you picture 3,500 old farts doing the Red Dress Run? Not a pretty sight. 

Best and worst of 2005.
