Observing Summary:

OH WHY, OH WHY?   (To the tune of 'Oh Danny Boy')


Oh why, oh why
Must hail* and snow** be falling
Atop our lonely mountainside all night?
The desert sky
Is not the blue we're calling
To show a thousand twinklings of light.

But we'll be back
Tomorrow after dinner,
For we are hopeless optimists up here.
If clouds still black-
En sight, we'll sit and simmer,
And in an hour more may it be clear!




* - okay, so i lied about the hail.
** - and i also lied about the snow.
But i was trying to fit in 'plain old clouds', and it just 
wasn't working.
