[AZ-Observing] Re: Report from Hovatter Norte

That's OK. I attended the All-AZ Star Party. I know what you mean about 
physical effort - I had to cut my two nights of observing a little short 
due to such lower back pain I couldn't take the first step on the ladder 
halfway thru the second night. I forgot my Ibuprofen and had to go 
around begging for drugs. The cold weather may have brought on the pain. 
Jenn P. suggested I put hand-warmers in the back of my shirt and that 
was a really good idea.
