In the Spotlight - Okinawa
All of the IN THE SPOTLIGHT articles I have written have been based on my own experience in the particular area featured, often along with a healthy dose of research and correspondence with other hashers that I know of that can add to the story. This month’s excursion into Hash House Harriers history is one that I have thought and wondered about for decades. If you have been around even for a short while, you have certainly seen or heard about the Okinawa HHH, with those colorful orange and blue happi coats standing out in any crowd of brightly colored hasher frivolity. I started my hash life in 1984 with the Okinawa HHH, which has directly spawned nearly 30 new hash clubs all over the world.
See the whole story at . . .

And now for something completely different . . .
Heteronyms
Homographs are words of like spelling but with more than one meaning.
A homograph that is also pronounced differently is a heteronym.

- The soldier decided to 'desert' his dessert in the 'desert.'
- Since there is no time like the 'present,' he thought it was time to 'present' the 'present.'
- A 'bass' was painted on the head of the 'bass' drum.
- When shot at, the 'dove' 'dove' into the bushes.
- I did not 'object' to the 'object.'
- The insurance was 'invalid' for the 'invalid.'
- There was a 'row' among the oarsmen about how to 'row.'
- They were too 'close' to the door to 'close' it.
- The buck 'does' funny things when the 'does' are present.
- A seamstress and a 'sewer' fell down into a 'sewer' line.
- To help with planting, the farmer taught his 'sow' to 'sow.'
- The 'wind' was too strong for me to 'wind' the sail.
- Upon seeing the 'tear' in the painting I shed a 'tear.'
- I had to 'subject' the 'subject' to a series of tests.
