No (not yet) LOL!!
13) A perfectly oriented, fully crusted, baseball-sized, lunar
meteorite crashes through your roof and lands in your lap while you
are reading this. It's the most gorgeous aesthetically-superior

Do the Meteorite Dance also, send a sample for
analysis, probably donate some samples, sell a few, and keep a BIG hunk

ALMAHATTA SITTA
16) Have you ever sold or donated your entire collection, and then had

ALMOST, LOST A PIECE OF MY TAGISH LAKE
