Re: [meteorite-list] Attendees at Tucson Show
When you stay in $20 per night hotels on Miracle Mile where the street girls show their goods usually rented by the hour, nothing less can be expected.

Re: [meteorite-list] Attendees at Tucson Show
This will be my last post on the Tucson subject so feel free to get the last word in if you find it to be important. I need to focus on more positive things like the Superbowl. My wife is busy preparing food for all the guys and girls attending an out-of-doors Superbowl party. I should feel fortunate that the weather is good enough around here to watch a big screen outside. It will provide a rare escape from the reality of what is happening to perfectly honest and hard working people these last few years. Some the happiest people I know are content with simple things that do not complicate their lives. Perhaps I can learn a thing or two from them.

Re: [meteorite-list] Attendees at Tucson Show
My point to Adam after reading his usual diatribe of crap that parking can't be too bad if I'm willing to risk parking my car at the show. I'm not sure where someone who isn't here and doesn't plan to come can spend so much time telling others what's going on here when he clearly had no idea. Amazingly plenty of Chinese and Japanese buyers were here, found parking, and even survived the flooding to spend their money. Sad that an American is so afraid of some water and full parking lots to come when they circle the planet to get here.

Parking was indeed full up but I got a good spot in the big parking lot because I gave the guy in the rain slicker half of my sandwich. Poor guy was miserable out there doing traffic control. He put my ride high-and-dry under the power tower and told me he'd keep an eye on it. Can't beat that! I can't say much about supply and demand except I want just about everything I saw:) Only spent an hour - too miserable with all the standing water.

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.
