Greetings Hashers,

I have been talking about this for over a year, but now is no longer a
dream, but a reality. My book has officially been published and available
in both paperback and hardcover on Amazon Books, and available in over 100
countries around the world. Simply search for TRUE TRAIL in the books
department on the Amazon website. For US based hashers, you can find them
at the following links:

Hardcover: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0G35QN33Q?ref_=pe_93986420_774957520

Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0G35RLBZQ?ref_=pe_93986420_774957520

eBook will be available in the near future.

We had a special occasion here in Taiwan today, at PanAsia Hash. In all the
world, there were only 4 known hashers that have hashed in 100 countries.
This weekend we added two more... Keeps It Up and Wildbush. Congrats, and
welcome to the 100 club. It may be years before anyone else makes it to
100. See the rest of the list at . . .

We are SIX months away now . . . If you plan to attend INTERHASH 2026 in
Indonesia, you will have the opportunity to steer the future of this
fabulous event. Kenya is bidding to host, and if INTERHASH is truly to be an
international event, it finally needs to come to AFRICA. I feel so strongly
about this, that I have joined the Organizing Committee to support and
contribute to making this a reality. So when you get the chance to vote next
year, I encourage you to vote KENYA! It's time for Interhash to go to
Africa.

English is the primary language of hashing, but there are clubs around the
world that do their own circles in their native tongue. I can't blame them,
as English can be a challenge . . . for example, here are a few words that
can be confusing . . .

* The English Language Can Be Hard . . .
