              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: C.Gray
The night started out windy but, confusingly, not dusty.  There was much tilting of heads to this phenomenon. It was likely a ploy by Zeus in response to our gift of the all mighty La-Zor last night.  Seeing was good-moderate throughout the night and nothing caught fire by lightning or other means.
No problems tonight.
