Hi Mark,
I saw that before and I certainly hope they were able to save
the tree, though it is unlikely, as importing plants is a HUGE deal,
at least in the US, where permits are required, species identified,
etc. However, it would certainly make the world's most unique bonsai!
Quoting the famous words of Mork, I replynano nano.

The Nageswarans have not decided what to do with their meteorite,

want to make sure that the rock, which they have locked up at a bank,

Hi Jerry,
Location is going to be tough for you, but if you've got a clear,
low, southwest horizon you might find it with binoculars. Look
immediately after sunset, 8 degrees above the sun's location and
about 3 degrees to the right. (Clockface analogy: if directly
above the sun is 12 o'clock,
absolutely and fun too esp ben's little TIP.
