I love your way of off-handedly giving out the medicine when it is needed.
LOL.
I would have ranted at him and made a jackass of myself in the
process. You got the mission done with delicacy and measured means.
Well done sir. ;)
Best regards,

Team Meteorite:
I follow the list through the archives, so perhaps the link below has
already been posted.
Our friend and team memeber Dave Gheesling just enjoyed his 'fifteen
minutes of fame'- well, probably 15 seconds anyway- on the American
NBC Nightly News last night which is watched by millions around the
world. He represented us well.
As we've all noted watching the media attempt to describe the event in
Russia, they struggle to differentiate between meteors, meteorites,
bolides, fireballs and meteorite showers. And again, there is the buzz
of value $$ factor, "A piece of the meteorite is said to be worth
$10,000!" is proclaimed without suggesting how large a piece that
might be. The public doesn't know a chondrite from a chondrule but
they sure know what that rock is worth!
I second a comment made by Mike Farmer during his interview with
National Geographic linked by another listee, that if any of us ever
get a chance to appear on the news, we de-emphasize the monetary part
of the hobby, and re-emphasize the scientific part.
Here's Dave on TV, and I watched it on cable from my home in Costa Rica!
