Re: [meteorite-list] What's the chances of a meteorite hitting youcar hood?
Hi, Mike, Great story. Two observations come to mind: 1.) Was having learned the hard way not to throw rocks a motivation to CATCHING them so well? 2.) Did anybody think that the teenagers that thought suckering a 7 year old into doing their dirty work for them deserved a little fanny-warming as well? Sterling K.

[meteorite-list] Ad/ or rescue 15.31 kilo Seymchan pallasite individual.
Hello everyone I purchased a 15.31 kilo Seymchan Pallasite to cut this year in Tucson. I have since decided I would rather sell it whole if someone wants it. If not I will cut it so this is a last call to see if anyone wants to keep a big individual whole. I am just trying to get my money back here I will sell it for $8500 and I am making nothing on the deal. It is a pallasite with olivine present on several sides. It also has some character and is the only whole individual I saw in Tucson. So if you want one this may be the only one you have a chance at. I will send pictures to anyone who is interested.

Re: [meteorite-list] Another clue to the Mystery Fall Game
The guessing game goes on! (And it may have been solved, it seems.) I was about to say to put Argentina back on the list after I was informed that Argentina has extensive wine regions: Hi Sterling You're wrong about vineyards in Argentina. There are very large areas of the Mendoza and San Juan provinces with them. Actually Mendoza is called the province of the wine! There are several tours especially designed to visit the different vineyards. It is said that the best Malbec in the world came from here... Eduardo Thanks, Eduardo! You should have just posted to the List as it now it appears that Mendoza was the spot! There are wine growing areas everywhere. Alex Seidel mentioned Apple Wine in Germany, but here in southern Illinois, there is an old wine region on the lower Illinois River Valley near me, with vineyards 150 years old, established by German settlers that came after the 1848 unpleasantness, now producing world-class wines with the help of California money: http://www.illinoiscellars.com/ They produce a fine Bavarian Apple Wine, my personal favorite, but no meteorites as yet.

I picked the oriented Ones and went about emailing every one of the photographers for Which I had an email address. Thankfully, the responses have been Pouring in giving me permission to use their photos. -- A LITTLE PLUG FOR MIKE, HERE: (This let me to really appreciate what Mike does for the community And I PayPalled him a measly $10. However, I realized if everyone who Looks at his great photos day after day, year after year would PayPal Him even $2 at least SOME of his expenses could be covered. Band Width on a web site cost $ and photos take up the most band width. Please consider sending $2 if you are a poor collector and $5 or $10 if You are a better off collector or a dealer. I am sure Mike would appreciate It - you can get the info off his postings). -- However, I am lacking the following: Photos of the killer oriented specimen Achiem Karl had in Mike Farmer's room this year... Did ANYONE take photos of this Fabulous specimen -- Photos of the incredible oriented S-A "Shooting Star" Jim Strope And Mike Farmer offered show before last (Jim does not have any Photos of it!) -- Photos of the spectacular oriented Taza Bruno Factay sold for $7K At the Tucson Show before last. -- The email addresses of the following: Herbert Raab Jorn Koblitz Larry Atkins Nelson Oakes Svend Huhl -- If anyone has info on any of the above, PLEASE CONTACT ME OFF LIST.

[meteorite-list] RE) Another clue to the Mystery Fall Game
"El Gato negro" is a chilian wine so Chile could be a good guess for this meteorite fall. In chile, grapes ripening are in late february/march. In the picture, grapes look ready to be reaped... So my guess is Chile. Pierre-Marie PELE _ Envoyez avec Yahoo! Mail.

[meteorite-list] What's the chances of a meteorite hitting you car hood?
Hi All, Thanks for the great replies and interest. I just hope my insurance takes care of the truck. I was lucky Georgia was there to witness this. She would have thought I made up this story to get out of the painting!

Re: [meteorite-list] What's the chances of a meteorite hitting you car hood?
Hi Sonny and all, Your very lucky it hit the hood and not the windshield as it could have come right through and struck you, possibly seriously injuring you or worst. While all kids do things from time to time that they really shouldn't, some things are just down right dangerous and people have been killed by that sort of thing before. I try never to drive directly under a pass when someone is just standing there. Of course you don't know if they might try to drop something on you from the other side. In any case glad you were not injured and I hope the kids learned a very big lesson. Looks like they need a constructive hobby but I am thinking in this case that maybe meteorites might be a bad idea until they grow up a bit :-) Best! --AL Mitterling Mitterling Meteorites [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All, Have you ever thought of a meteorite hitting your car? Better yet, while you were in it? Well that's not what happened today! I was driving home after buying some paint for the house when out of nowhere a rock the size of a baseball hits my hood and then smashes into my windshield causing it to break and crack . I was driving around 70 mph. At first I thought it might have come from a truck in front of me or one going the other direction on the highway. The only problem was there were no other vehicles in front or going the other directions. So what just happened ? The only thing I could think of was someone threw the rock from the walkway under the freeway or something. I slammed on my brakes and turned the truck around . I was lucky there was a turn around at the location. Georgia gave me a look like the one you see just before you get in a crash! I drove just above the walkway and parked my truck and told Georgia to call 911 and tell them what happened. I could see to the west, no one in sight but not to the east. I ran down the hill and into the tunnel. Not a good move, not knowing what to expect. At this point I was pissed off and not really thinking right. I ran under the freeway to the other side and on top of a dirt embankment. There they were, running into another tunnel only 500 ' in front of me! Damn it! I never new kids could run like cheetahs! The only thing I could do was jump back into the ditch and try to cut them off. As I got closer to the opening of the other drainage ditch I could see these kids coming back out of the opening. The only problem , I was out of breath from when I ran down the hill to get onto the walkway . You have to remember I was still trying to get out of doing the painting before this happened. Let alone run at high speed at any time! When I finally got over to the kids you should have seen the look on their faces. Like deer in the headlights! At this moment I knew I could take the 7 yr old but the two 13 yr olds might be tough! Just teasing! I said which one of you threw the rock. The first kid said the other kid that ran the other direction did it.The second kid said he ran the opposite direction. Ok let me get this straight the kid that threw the rock ran two different directions? Well yes and no they said. By this time I had regained some of my breath and decided to question the tougher 7 yr old. When I asked the kid who threw the rock, he started crying and said "I don't want to go to jail" and would not look at his two other friends. I almost started crying after seeing this, but I was still out of breath and I'd seen this technique used in the movies before! About this time two police cars pulled up. The police started asking the kids what happened and the one kid told on his friend that he threw the rock. I forgot to say while I was chasing the kids I was trying to give Georgia the direction and location on the cell phone. I was happy to see the kids father pull up and then the look on the kids faces. I felt bad for the little one, he was still crying lying on the sidewalk. The good part is no one got hurt and I got a little exercise! If this ever happens again I hope it is a meteorite.
