Observing Summary:

GRB and long CV run, again.  Night started out with cirrus here and 
there, which made things difficult for an hour.  CCD failed once to read
out, and refused to clear for about a minute.  But the problem did 
not repeat.


'CIRRUS AND WIND AND THE CREEPER* ARE ALL UP TO NO GOOD'


You wanna to see
One, two, or three
Horrendous pics of data?

I'm talkin' _bad_;
It's rather sad;  
Can't figure what's-a-matta'.

This GRB
Commands best see-
Ing, if we're still to view it.

Alas this stuff
Ain't good enough
(I coulda shoulda knew it.)


*Ask Bob.
