The Donkeys of Tanabata

The light is almost gone now and soon we will be able to see the MIlky Way
as our group celebrates Tanabata in the hills above Livermore in July of 2007. 
The donkeys in the next field over are curious about our party, but 
no one has told them the story of the Weaver Girl and the Herdboy yet.
