Michael,etc. I'm just now able to catch up on the emails over the last few days. When I read this one, I wanted to echo your sentiments about Mike Farmer. I'm sure he himself would be one of the first to agree with your "Sure he can have his moments..." statement, as he is .... well, let's just say... VERY passionate about meteorites and his business. ;-) And although I don't always agree 100% with Mike, I definitely can say that once you do get to know him, he is one of the most unselfish guys you could hope to meet. I'll never forget how he insisted that I use his metal detector in Sweden for several DAYS, which left him completely unable to hunt for any meteorites, because he had already found some earlier, and he wanted me to have as much chance as possible to find my own. How many of us would be willing to just sit out on hunting for days? And when we were on another trip, he gathered up all our left over food and supplies and gave them to some poor localinhabitants before we left. So yeah, we all know that Mike can get a little "excited" at times, but... deep down, he is a great person. (And one heck of a meteorite hunter!)
And Michael J., congrats on your new iron. I've missed your meteorite of the day updates lately. I hope we can look forward to a lot more.
