Tuesday, June 5, 2012

Weather:        Clear!

People:          20 at Clairemont, about 40 passersby at Mission Bay, including Dash and Leigh

Goals going in:

No clouds! 

Summary

more poor camera-phone pictures, but what the heck...

Highlights:

The Clairemont High Observatory is near the band room.  One guy was playing an oddly appropriate song on piccolo: "It's a Small World".

Other Observations:

A lot of people set up at polling stations where people weren't in a hurry.  Setting up on a boardwalk was a little bit more of a challenge: I had to yell at joggers timing their run "Hey, stop running and get over here!"
