Re: [meteorite-list] President Obama Places Over 265 Million Acres Of Land Off-limits

[GREG LINDH via Meteorite-list]

  Our freedoms have been horribly eroded in the last few years, especially in 
the last 7 years.  People just let it happen and don't complain unless it 
directly, and seriously affects them.  It is now affecting the meteorite 
hunter's ability to hunt for meteorites, and that affects us all, including the 
modest collector.

Re: [meteorite-list] Guns made of meteorite: Price tag $1 million

[GREG LINDH via Meteorite-list]

 There is *nothing* wrong with crafting the handle of a sidearm using a 
meteorite.  There is *nothing* wrong with pistols or rifles.  Period.  It's no 
different than using meteorites to make the face of a watch.  No difference.

Dear Tommy and All

I will be interested to see the reaction of listees to this article. A few 
years ago I posted a small "flyer" for the work of an artist who had taken a 
piece of Campo, made a mould of it, melted the meteorite then cast it in the 
mould she had made earlier and put it on display in an exhibition of her work. 
This piece of news generated a great deal of, mainly negative, comment on the 
list. Can someone point out to me how this use of a meteorite, to make a 
weapon, is different (for better or worse) to the artwork my friend created?

Re: [meteorite-list] Attendees at Tucson Show

Well, I rode my $5.00 bicycle, with coon tails hanging from the bars and a 
clown car horn that I honked all the way from Prescott Valley to Tucson. I 
especially honk the horn when a **$130,000 Tesla** slows me down.

 Yours truly,

 Good grief. Why worry about it? You aren't here.
 I drive a $130,000 tesla, and I got parking and even made it through the mud! 
 I wouldn't subject it to any bad parking conditions.
 You would think by your post that somehow Tucson has become The Congo. Just 
 play on eBay and leave Tucson to the dealers:)

 The reason there were no parking spots left is that the overflow parking in 
 the dirt was muddy from what I was told from a fossil buyer who left early 
 in disgust. Everybody knows that there is no where near enough parking at 
 the Insuites to begin with, even under normal circumstances. There were many 
 spots available Thursday from what I was told, the first time I have heard 
 this during all of the previous shows I have attended. You used to have to 
 circle two or three times to find a spot even with the overflow parking open.

 I am not there this year so depend on reports from others and what is 
 published in the in the media. In any case, I am glad to stay home this year.

 I hope those that spent the money to visit the show are rewarded with some 
 good deals. I just have not heard of any at this point. Only 9 meteorite 
 vendors bother to post the Tucson Show information request, the lowest 
 number I have ever seen since it was started.

Yeah, well CA doesn't put out as much produce as it used to. Whenever I go back 
to CA from AZ, in order to visit family, I drive up and down Interstate 5. For 
practically the whole I-5 part of my trip I see empty, dusty fields where there 
used to be beautiful orchards and lands full of all kinds of fruits and 
vegetables. Now, just dusty, empty fields..oh yeah, and hundreds of signs 
that say, Congress Created Dustbowl. Yup, devastated, dry land, all because 
Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer and crew wanted to save a minnow in the California 
Aqueduct. If I'm not mistaken, that minnow is not even native to the region. It 
was imported. That's CA for you.

 Average gasoline prices in Arizona ($2.57/gal) are about 13% lower
 than California ($2.97). How does that 13% difference turn into an
 almost 100% (claimed) increase in your fill-up?
 
 California has more than 3 times the lane-miles of Arizona and it's
 drivers account for 11% of ALL of the miles driven in the entire
 country (more than 5 times Arizona drivers, and we have a lower
 fatality rate because no one from Arizona can drive worth a damn), so
 yes, our roads do get used and abused and could use some love.
 Believe it or not, road maintenance is what the fuel tax is used for,
 we just have a lot more roads that need maintaining.
 
 And most produce comes from California. And by most we're talking a
 huge majority. Some comes from Mexico, some from other places, too,
 but California is our nation's produce isle.
 
 Michael is so. Cal.

 I have seen better roads in third-world countries. As far as produce goes,
 most of it now comes from Mexico.

 No other state even comes close to California when it comes to produce
 production, so it follows that no other states would have to enact
 protections as tough as California. Don't like it, then stay out of
 my state (and stop eating fruits, nuts, and vegetables altogether,
 chances are they were grown here).

 Michael in so. Cal.

 Keeping this meteorite related, the California bug stations even look
 for
 firewood coming in from other states. So for example you are planning a
 meteorite
 hunting trip into or through California and figure you would like to
 haul
 some firewood with you, you might want to know that they may or will
 seize
 it at the border inspection stations.

 Hi all,
 
 I stopped by to see our friend Mike Miller today at the hospital
 (KRMC) in Kingman, AZ.
 
 He's completely sedated and on a breathing machine. I was told that
 he's been in ICU for a few days and that doctors are somewhat baffled
 as to what has happened. Something is causing fluid build up in his
 lungs that is making it impossible for him to breathe unassisted. He
 entered the hospital on Wednesday evening due to pains in his chest
 and back but within hours had to be put on a ventilator to breathe.
 
 Mikes daughters (Ashley, and Melissa) work for him and will be
 checking his email. If you'd like to wish Mike well I'm sure he'd
 appreciate it. Here is his email. meteoritefin...@gmail.com
