This is is a reposting of the dayfile from BATTLESTAR.  It has been split
in half to facilitate posting.  To recover the complete dayfile, extract
this file, and the other half of it, and concatenate the two into one file
called dayfile. This file corresponds to the first half of part one of
my previous posting of Battlestar.

The grounds here are landscaped with palm trees, ferns, orchids, and beds of
flowering plumeria and antheriums. Directly below is a small ornate white
house with a belltower, a lush green lawn, and a spurting fountain.
