(“The telescope just got 1 meter bigger….”)

In all seriousness however–totally agree with Dick.
–Go through the motions in Hawaii while they cement the deal with India, then completely vanish in the middle of the night. Leave the hipsters to occupy an access road to nowhere.

If, say, India comes through with a rational arrangement to host TMT in the foothills of the Hindu Kush, then that’s where TMT should go – after all suitable dry-eyed apologies are made to the Hawaiians about being unable to come to a suitable and/or timely agreement to build TMT there.

As Groucho Marx once sang:

I’ll do anything you say!
I’ll even stay!

But I must be going.
