A perfect example of how short-term memories can be,
Sue the Dinosaur's formal designation is "FMNH PR 2081" not "FMMH PR 2081"
as I was just reminded. I am also a perfectionist when it comes to details
so please forgive me for this error.
Time to go to brunch,
Happy Fathers Day,
Adam

Anthropology is interesting from a cultural standpoint. In the meteorite
world, some outsiders look in and see self-congratulatory websites and
posts and ask what do they have to do with promoting meteorites instead of
egos? I tell them that some are attempting to sell the story along with
the meteorite. In some cases, the true story improves the value but in
other cases, it detracts. Who remembers the finder of "Sue the Dinosaur"
or the "Bahia Emerald?" In a single generation, the people involved have
been forgotten. Nobody will remember "FMMH PR 2081" , "Sue the
Dinosaur's" formal designation.
It is customary for realtors to post a single image of themselves in
advertising so their clients get a feel for what the person looks like.
Michael Blood, similarly accomplishes the same thing with the Meteorite
Friends page.
Happy Fathers Day, I am heading out to brunch to enjoy the occasion with
my wife and family here in very hot Laughlin, NV. It is going to be
getting into the 120's later this week so I do not see any field time
forthcoming anytime soon.

Hi all,
Teaching Anthropology, which includes linguistics, I began over
30 years ago to collect the origins of phrases.
The original phrase in this instance is
"Pot calling the kettle black."
