The night of March 23, 2010, two beautiful exploding events happened just West of Oklahoma City early evening. I was lucky to get them both on the allsky.
The next day I started getting calls from a local station. first they wanted a phone interview, then they wanted to come by the house and film the camera, then they asked "Hey, can you bring the camera in for a morning interview?" Turns out, a station in Tulsa got one of them while doing an evening weather report, so I did a remote interview, then one in the studio. I was really nervous, but they were so nice it never showed. Sooo... not all are evil. Some really enjoy having science "go to" people around. :) --- On Sat, 3/2/13, Count Deiro <[email protected]> wrote: > From: Count Deiro <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite market talk on radio > To: "James Beauchamp" <[email protected]> > Cc: "Anne Black" <[email protected]>, "[email protected]" > <[email protected]>, "[email protected]" > <[email protected]> > Date: Saturday, March 2, 2013, 2:13 AM > Dear James, > > You were lucky indeed.
