Remarks: Benita put together a game of ‘celebrity heads’ yesterday that we played during Sunday Popcorn and marlinspike yesterday. You pick a name out of a hat and without looking have it taped to your forehead. You can ask yes or no questions about your person and try to guess the identity before the other two team players guess their person. Dawson guessed his very fast (David Attenborough) and Dustin just could not get Kurt Cobain. The night watch was clear and serene, the moon is almost half and is rising later and later, making star watching easier. Nate taught a class on rules of the road, which he will teach a little bit of every day this week. The spaker gaff has fresh coats of paint on it and should be ready to send up again tomorrow.
