Hi Barb,

do you watch Meteorite Men on Animal Planet or is it Discovery? Cool show.

Have seen the show a few times...it amazes me how--in the middle of supposedly nowhere--these guys can find a backhoe and operator when they need one to dig deeper 😆 😆 😆

Also love the great shows about volcanos, tectonic plates, etc.
Oh...and the universe of course.

Between the internet and the rare "good TV" shows, there's so much interesting stuff to see and read about.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Quality meteorites from Mars sell for $30,000 an ounce. The most valuable stones on the planet aren't even from this world!

New "gold" standard!

Wonder what the difference between a "quality" and "average" meteorite would be...one with a palm fossil on it? 😆
kidding!!!
