              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
The first half observers noticed that the network seemed slow.  Several users at different locations all were having slow transfer issues.  32Mb in about 8-10 mins.  I didn't seem to have any issues transfering data to my home machine.  The observer noted that speeds seem to go back to normal around 23:00 tonight.
Pollen count rates were about 50 grains per hr using Dimitry's counter.  I could also see some grains on my windshield, although wiping them it was really hard to see them on the paper towel in 1hr.
No telescope issues tonight.
