Images from the Constitution Day Run of 2003 are now up. Getting photos up is now pretty easy, although I don't usually take time to write commentary for each one. That's good and bad-- good in that it means I can put more photos up more quickly. Bad in that I've been too lazy to write up newsletters for each run.

So what I might do is some quick summaries when I put up the photos, like this one.

Constitution Day 2003's trail wound through the woods west of Lenina and just north of Medeo, along the streams of snowmelt where the local fauna come to cool off; the air was crisp and cool, the water freezing, and the checkmarks variously erased by fire-building campers, curious construction workers, and giant tractors. Despite that, the pack made its way along the forested route and returned to the circle in time to see that the driver had managed to rescue two cases of Tien Shan from the trunk of his car where he had inadvertently locked it.

The run was memorable for the return of Temir Dick, absent these past five months, for which he drank a suitable down down; the return of the sometimes present and always more than presentable Unnatural Blonde, who as usual received a down down for being too fashionable at the hash; the return of newcomer Andrew, who escaped drinking a down down for being "too sexy" in his red t-shirt (to quote PedFac) but ended up drinking one for knowing too much about Kazakhstan's Constitution; the return of Eata My Pussy from the wilderland of Europe, where she spent time fleecing the locals in the guise of "translating"; the first trail set by Gulya, which received (mostly) positive votes, along with some sideways thumbs for being "too easy"; the return of Stinkfoot, who spent last Sunday being ill on his sofa (nobody told him where the bathroom is yet). After grilling each of the RK citizens about freedoms granted in their Consitution, hare Gulya gave GM Digital Dildo a down down for talking politics at the hash. The group then retired to the haven of the Smak cafe just a hundred meters south, where they were joined by Super Sneaky Stalker and her companion Tony.
