Re: [meteorite-list] Monze Day - Oct 5

[Galactic Stone & Ironworks via Meteorite-list]

Thanks for the history lesson Doug!  I didn't know most of this.  It
gives some context to my little Monze micromount.  :)

Thankfully, I am on the west coast of Florida. So at least we won't
have storm surge to deal with. Just lots of wind and rain.  Hopefully
no tornadoes.

Best regards,

[meteorite-list] Monze Day - Oct 5

[MexicoDoug via Meteorite-list]

Happy Fall Day anniversary to Monze - October 5, 1950 ... the 66th!

Here on Florida's coast a few kind words to Chief Monze Mukulukulu to go easy 
on us as we look down the barrel of Hurricane Matthew... with an offering of my 
first wild tomatoes from the volunteer fall crop.  

Monze Mukulukulu of the Tonga is legendary in that he was the first Monze Chief 
and has a special place as Sunshine and Rain Bringer to his people.  He's 
legendary in the sense that when he passed into the next world, no body was 
found and he is said in Tonga tradition to have ascended to the sky to regulate 
the rains after the dry season.  

Offerings are made to the current Chief Monze to honor Mukulukulu every year in 
early July during their very dry winter season when rains are crucial --- the 
offerings are of iron hand made hoeing implements and symbolically the current 
Chief Monze takes his role and eats the first harvest.

Monze is named for the ancient Monze Chief, and October begins the countdown to 
the end of the dry periods and the most pleasant weather.  Hopefully Chief 
Mukulukulu can bring some of the rain from here to his dry but fertile fields 
of Monze,

Kindest wishes
Doug

[meteorite-list] A Chardonnay Meteorite Wine (Arbois, Jura mountains, France)

[Fabien Kuntz via Meteorite-list]

Hello everyone, 



I am (very) happy and (a little bit) proud to present my new project, I worked 
on for several month now. 


A Chardonnay Meteorite Wine, from the french city of Arbois, in Jura mountains 
(city famous for wine of 
course, but also because Louis Pasteur conducted a lot of experiment in his 
house there). 


Not as simple as it sounds, but could not be happier with the result ! Tested, 
tasted (re-tasted few times with friends, just in case ;-) 
and approved... 


Made in the oldest wine cellar of the city (La Cave de la Reine Jeanne), and of 
the entire area (built 1322 for duchess Jeanne II of Burgundy).


The french website and a link to the funding plateform (Ulule), most easier to 
centralize ! 




French website : 



http://arbois-meteorite.com/

Plateform, in english, explaining the project... and to order if you want :
