                ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: G.Saurage
Clear but hazy all 1st half. Seeing variable.
Internet went down at around 12:30 for about ½ an hour. Tularosa Basin
Telephone Co. called and reported there had been "an event" – details
sparing.
Other than that fairly smooth sailing.
