What about the people who view the sight of telescopes on the mountain with pride as one of the few great things accomplished in Hawaii?
Yes.
I can't tell you how often there are days when very little seems to go right, meetings run late, much later than Hawaiian Time, people haven't completed their work, drivers on the road maneuver with the capacity of a herd of cats trying to stay between two lines.

Yes.
