Below is a letter I got from Prick after a phone chat. It seems that the City Of West Palm Beach is a bit annoyed with the local chapter of the Hash House Harriers. Our local kennel has no mismanagement council who could be considered “in charge”. It’s more that we’re guided by a “council of elders” as it has been termed in the past. So after having read the letter from Prick, it my be a wise decision handed down from the “council of elders” that we don’t need to lay trail in the direct vicinity of downtown West Palm Beach and their “City Property” for a while. Over the years it seems that at least two to three times a year someone lays a trail in downtown, and we have now worn out our welcome. I’m sure this kennel can survive just fine without a trail near The Kravis Center or City Hall or City Place or any of their other sensitive areas. Or maybe just avoid the city property and only use chalk in the “sensitive” areas.
All in favor??

Got a call on Thursday, Dec. 9 from my friend Alan Ortman, a fair and decent man. Lieutenant Ortman is Assistant Chief of Police and head of Emergency Management at City of WPB. He called to say “another problem with the crazy runners.” Seems that the group trespassed through the City Complex for fleet vehicles (police, fire, gas pumps, repair bays with expensive equipment, etc.). A confrontation was reported by staff, with a trespasser. Ed Mitchell, the City Administrator, wants everyone arrested. Lt. Ortman doesn’t think that’s necessary, but he is requesting a meeting with a representative of the group to set ground rules and report back to Mr. Mitchell.
In these times of heightened security and rising crime, it’s more important than ever to be aware of what we’re doing with our little adventure club. As a rule, we are respectful of property and civil law, but now we must be more conscious of potential repercussions. Either that, or stay the fuck away from 33401 for a few years!
Lt. Ortman collared me at the Golf Course only 2 weeks ago, to ream me a new a-hole for not letting him know about Plumb Bob’s trail downtown that caused the evacuation of City Hall. Let’s not get this man upset; let’s have him give a good report back to the City Admin. that we are cooperating and behaving nicely. I always thought we should say we are the Florida Aviary Society and switch “running for beers” to “birds!”
Anyway Anal, maybe you could e-blast this to the group and solicit response for me to take to meet with the City. I told him I’d call him next Tues. to set up a meeting. Don’t hang me out to dry, or I’ll sing
on all a ya.
On-On
