Thanks for your graciousness MikeG! Yes, the one thing that we can all agree on is the awesomeness of our extraterrestrial visitors (talking rocks here folks...).

Re: [meteorite-list] Apologies [OT]
Hola Tracy & Norm, Thanks to both of you for the warmhearted comments, public or not, as well as for the charming addition to my vocabulary! There were 4.5 billion-year old rocks on the table, of that photo, I'd like to point out. Probably the best wildlife in addition to our own scrumptiously presumptuous species glimpsed was a surprise in a rough surf with serial 2-3 meter high waves at the low cast light of Sunrise. Soon to provide a good face-first thrashing and force-feeding of seawater, one particularly high wave soon was to break. Waterlogged, stinging eyes, tracked it with a necessary keen sense in the final moments, to feed the vice of thrill-seeking anticipation when the unexpected happened. An entire school of quite large fish (min. 30 cm to nearly 50 cm long) was elevated effortlessly as they merrily swam along unimpeded. >From my vantage point, it was like looking into a huge walk-in aquarium about to shatter. The wave progressed rapidly toward both shore and yours truly, and the fish were smoothly elevated up the curved front wall of the wave by what I can only describe as optical antigravity. As they approached the top in the emotional two-second event, they simply disappeared in stride behind the cusp at which time I gasped for a deep breath and made like a bottom-burrowing sea scavenger Tracy suspects I am, to hang on to dear life. The low frequency frictional blasts overhead as the wave broke were just background thumps as I literally swallowed the unexpected sight I had just witnessed.

Re: [meteorite-list] Apologies
Tracy, No problems here. I was glad to be reminded of the fine word "pulchritudinous". Webster says "having or marked by physical comeliness". Without question that is an appropriate word for the meteorite community's use, hence, not OT. There should be a special category for pulchritudinous meteorites. But, you were right. Doug wasn't looking at rocks. (Thanks Doug for the dreams. We all wish we were there!)
