Hi Francesco,

As far as I know the photo was published in the July 1906 issue Popular
Science Monthly. With some luck perhaps you could find a copy and scan the
photo. Good luck.

Well ... kinda true for Florida ... if you are driving a cargo van, you are 
REQUIRED to stop.  I have a warning ticket to prove it!  Chased me down, lights 
flashing!  ... and the officer had a photograph of the sign that states such 
about cargo vans.  Told him that I gone in and out of the state a LOT of times 
and had never stopped nor been stopped (in a VERY nice way!) ... his response?  
It's a slow day for us!  At least he was honest and had a sense of humor ...

There are agricultural inspection stations on I-10 and I-75 entering
Florida, but there are no such stations on the many alternate routes.
The inspection stations along the interstate are for commercial
traffic and private drivers are not required to stop.  You can drive
unchecked across the border with unicorn horns and moonshine in the
trunk and nobody will notice or look twice.

Never been to Arizona or California.  Haven't made it that far west yet.

 California has more than 3 times the lane-miles of Arizona and it's
 drivers account for 11% of ALL of the miles driven in the entire
 country (more than 5 times Arizona drivers, and we have a lower
 fatality rate because no one from Arizona can drive worth a damn), so
 yes, our roads do get used and abused and could use some love.
 Believe it or not, road maintenance is what the fuel tax is used for,
 we just have a lot more roads that need maintaining.

 And most produce comes from California.  And by most we're talking a
 huge majority.  Some comes from Mexico, some from other places, too,
 but California is our nation's produce isle.

 No other state even comes close to California when it comes to produce
 production, so it follows that no other states would have to enact
 protections as tough as California.  Don't like it, then stay out of

2015-01-12 Thread John Teague via Meteorite-list 
5th Annual Eating Your Way Around Tucson - 2015

Hey, List Members!

I have it on good authority that Tucson is fast approaching!  With that in 
mind, I am once again giving my “Annual Eating Your Way Around Tucson” list, a 
slight name change from last year.  This list has been put together with over 
twenty years of attending the shows.  These are my opinions (well, my wife, 
Cookie, too!) only.  I have no vested interest in any of these establishments, 
no free food, etc!  I just like good food!  Maybe you will find my/our tastes 
different from yours but all of these are worth a try!

Again this year, I am leaving for Tucson mid-January! This will be my fourth 
year to make the 2200 mile (each way!) drive to Tucson.  Cookie is flying out 
later!  Guess that she is a bit smarter than I!  But better days are ahead as 
Cookie is retiring July 2nd and will be ‘able’ to drive out with me in 2016!

I am adding some new locations suggested by list members last year after prior 
posts.  We did get to try some of them and enjoyed them VERY much.  I hope to 
add more this year!

NEW FAVORITES for us!
Fist, a BIG “Thank you!” to Terry Sayther from Austin Texas!  Terry sent us a 
couple of suggestions for breakfast … or ANYtime!  We are calling them “MUSTS”!

MUST #1:  Bobo's Restaurant, 2938 E. Grant Road, 520-326-6163 
http://www.bobostucson.com/  We at there ‘more than once’ in 2014!  Everything 
is GREAT!  I have to be gluten free but try the pancakes!  They are the size of 
a plate!  The omelets are WONDERFUL!  Check out the deserts!

MUST #2:  Robert’s Restaurant (closed Sunday), 3301 East Grant Road, (520) 
795-1436 http://www.robertstucson.com/  We also visited Robert’s a couple of 
times!  Robert’s is just down the street from Bobo’s but on the opposite side 
of Grant!  You cannot go wrong with either choice!

If you are looking for GREAT ‘diner’ eats, give Little Anthony's Diner (, 7010 
E Broadway Blvd, 520-296-0456) a try http://littleanthonysdiner.com/ I know 
this is not food/eating related but check out The Gaslight Theatre 
http://thegaslighttheatre.com/!  During Tucson show time, the Gaslight offers a 
old west themed, hilarious melodrama!  We have attended each year for several 
years and have enjoyed each performance!  This year’s production is Two Gun 
McGraw.  You can order your tickets online for best seat selection and then 
pick them up in Tucson.


Now, a ‘Classic’!

* Pat's Drive In, 1202 West Niagara Street, 520-624-0891
I should not list this first, but I AM!  I first read about Pat's in Arizona 
Highways magazine.  It is a tradition in Arizona!  It is on a side street off 
N. Grande Ave, between Speedway and St. Marys.  It is near the condo that we 
rent each year.  I had driven within half a block of it for years and did not 
know it existed!  If you like the old drive in restaurants, this IS the place 
for you!  If you like greasy fries by the pound, this is for you!  If you like 
GREAT chili hotdogs, this IS the place for you, please note that they have 
three degrees of heat for their chili!

We have favorites that we think everyone should try at least once.  In no 
particular order:

NEW!  NEW!  NEW! This is our NEW “favorite” from 2013:
* Guadalajara Grill was suggested by good friend, Dennis Beal, XTAL, (Room 120, 
Hotel City Center, Marty Zinn’s Arizona Mineral  Fossil Show).  We have 
learned that if Dennis suggests a restaurant, you BEST try it!  He has never 
sent us to a bad one, not even a mediocre one!
Guadalajara Grill – West, 1220 E Prince Road-520-323-1022 (also 2nd location: 
East, 750 N Kolb Road, 520-296-1122.  We went to the one on Prince the very 
last night we were in Tucson 2013.  Large parking lot that was FULL!  It took 
us 15 minutes or more to find a parking place … then about 30-45 minutes to get 
a table … BUT it was more than worth the wait!  HUGE portions of GREAT food at 
reasonable prices! You WILL enjoy it!

* La Fuente Restaurant, 1749 N. Oracle Rd., 520-623-8659
REALLY good Mexican/Tex-Mex food.  The lunch buffet is very good and very 
reasonable.  If you're there for dinner, be sure to order the Guacamole made 
table-side.  It is VERY GOOD!

* Silver Saddle Steak House, 6th Ave.  I-10 (310 E. Benson Highway), 
520-622-6253
This place is near downtown and has some of the best steak that I've had in 
Tucson.  If you're going for dinner, it is best to get there early or be 
prepared to wait 30 minutes to an hour.  It IS worth the wait!  I do not think 
that they take reservations.  We ate at Silver Saddle at least twice in 2013 … 
and probably will top that this year!

* Lil Abner's Steakhouse, 8501 N Silverbell Rd., 520-744-2800
This is a MUST for Tucson show visitors.  I remember going there a lot of years 
ago when this place was truly in the middle of nowhere!  If you go this year, 
you'll she how that has changed.  It use to be a drive out into the desert!  
Any of the show weekends will have tons of show folks there!  The steaks rival 
Silver

Hi Mike/List;

It's actually simple to assure that your posts will show up:  don’t use rich 
formatting in your emails.  99% of the time an email doesn’t make it is due to 
the formatting.  I chose to block rich text and HTML as a means of decreasing 
the possibility of virus transmission.

see policy #7  [7. Send emails in text format, not HTML or Rich Text (these 
will be bounced)]

Happy Hunting,

In my opinion the list is dying because 90% of what people post never makes 
it. Most of my emails are blocked, never to appear. Why? I have no clue. Most 
others tell me the same thing. I just post on Facebook and sell my things in 
minutes.  Much easier. Why? I don't know. 
Sad to see, the list was once a great place where information and stories were

 I for one am sad to see the decline in list activity. I've been on here for 
 many years and I miss the multiple, daily posts that we used to get. It was 
 such an active, fun, educational, and entertaining place! (sometimes a 
 little mean, too)
 
 I joined facebook some time ago so as not to feel as out dated as I actually 
 am : ) and to keep up with the times. Unfortunately for me, I don't seem to 
 get the joy from facebook that the met list of old gave me. I have barely 
 said 2 words on facebook. I really can't put my finger on what the 
 disconnect is, but it's there. Perhaps it's the snippets of info instead of 
 more details, maybe it's the hundreds of people that want to be my 'friend' 
 that I've never heard of. Maybe I feel like it's going to be to much of a 
 commitment once I dive in? On top of all this is the privacy issue, real or 
 imagined.
 
 The future is knocking and I know it's only a matter of time before I have 
 to give in to change so as not to go socially extinct!

is GREAT!  I have to be gluten free but try the pancakes!  They are the size of 
a plate!  The omelets are WONDERFUL!  Check out the deserts!  Once again, 
Bobo’s ROCKS!

MUST #2:  Robert’s Restaurant (closed Sunday), 3301 East Grant Road, (520) 
795-1436 http://www.robertstucson.com/  We also visited Robert’s a couple of 
times!  Robert’s is just down the street from Bobo’s but on the opposite side 
of Grant!  You cannot go wrong with either choice!

MUST #3:  Teresa’a Mosaic Café, 2456 N. Silver Mosaic Dr. (at Grant Rd, behind 
McDonalds), Tucson, AZ - 520-624-4512.  GREAT Mexican food!  WONDERFUL 
margaritas!  http://www.teresamosaiccafe.com/

If you are looking for GREAT ‘diner’ eats, give Little Anthony's Diner (, 7010 
E Broadway Blvd, 520-296-0456) a try.  If you like milkshakes the ‘old 
fashioned way’ (with the ‘extra’ shake that won’t fit into you LARGE shake 
glass delivered to you table in the metal mixing cup, complete with frost on 
the outside!) then Little Anthony’s Diner is for you! 
http://littleanthonysdiner.com/  Little Anthony’s also sponsor car shows in 
their huge parking lot.  Like old and new cars and trucks, be there Saturday 
1/23 and/or 2/6 10am-2pm to see some cool vehicles!  I know this is not 
food/eating related but check out The Gaslight Theatre (next to, and associated 
with Little Anthony’s!) http://thegaslighttheatre.com/!  During Tucson show 
time, the Gaslight offers an old west themed, hilarious melodrama!  We have 
attended each year for several years and have enjoyed each performance!  This 
year’s production is “The Cisco Kid”.  You can order your tickets online for 
best seat selection and then pick them up in Tucson.  


Now, a ‘Classic’!

* Pat's Drive In, 1202 West Niagara Street, 520-624-0891
I should not list this first, but I AM!  I first read about Pat's in Arizona 
Highways magazine.  It is a tradition in Arizona!  It is on a side street off 
N. Grande Ave, between Speedway and St. Marys.  It is near the condo that we 
rent each year.  I had driven within half a block of it for years and did not 
know it existed!  If you like the old drive in restaurants, this IS the place 
for you!  If you like greasy fries by the pound, this is for you!  If you like 
GREAT chili hotdogs, this IS the place for you, please note that they have 
three degrees of heat for their chili!


We have "favorites" that we think everyone should try at least once.  In no 
particular order:

NEW!  NEW!  NEW! This is our NEW “favorite” from 2013:
* Guadalajara Grill was suggested by good friend, Dennis Beal, XTAL, (Room 120, 
Hotel City Center, Marty Zinn’s Arizona Mineral & Fossil Show).  We have 
learned that if Dennis suggests a restaurant, you BEST try it!  He has never 
sent us to a bad one, not even a mediocre one!
Guadalajara Grill – West, 1220 E Prince Road-520-323-1022 (also 2nd location: 
East, 750 N Kolb Road, 520-296-1122.  We went to the one on Prince the very 
last night we were in Tucson 2013.  Large parking lot that was FULL!  It took 
us 15 minutes or more to find a parking place … then about 30-45 minutes to get 
a table … BUT it was more than worth the wait!  HUGE portions of GREAT food at 
reasonable prices! You WILL enjoy it!

* La Fuente Restaurant, 1749 N. Oracle Rd., 520-623-8659
REALLY good Mexican/Tex-Mex food.  The lunch buffet is very good and very 
reasonable.  If you're there for dinner, be sure to order the Guacamole made 
table-side.  It is VERY GOOD!

* Silver Saddle Steak House, 6th Ave. & I-10 (310 E. Benson Highway), 
520-622-6253
This place is near downtown and has some of the best steak that I've had in 
Tucson.  If you're going for dinner, it is best to get there early or

I was at the Hotel Tucson yesteday (1-16) ... spoke with the manager ... she 
told me that there was an 'informal agreement' that UHaul would 'allow' parking 
until construction started, and the way things were shaping up, that would not 
happen until after the show at HT was over ... of course, things can change!

Re: [meteorite-list] Another Land Grab In Nevada And Utah!

2016-12-29 Thread John Teague via Meteorite-list 
I have been reading this thread with much glee! 

This is a PRIME EXAMPLE of why I no longer suggest this list to my customers.

A few short days ago, I was raked over the proverbial coals for complaining 
about large attachments.  It seems that I happened to step on the toes of some 
of the 'powers that be'.  Here, we have these diatribes and nary a word from 
those said 'powers'!  I love it!  I love the hypocrisy! ... from the political 
"He also protected thousands of archaeological sites, dinosaur tracks, 
fossils,... Thousands more square miles need to be protected too, as soon 
as possible. Thank you Mr. President." ... to the mud slinging!  ... a truly 
professional group dedicated to the love of science!

Go for it, guys!  Get down and wallow in the mud!  There seems to be plenty of 
company!

[meteorite-list] 7th Annual Eating Your Way Around Tucson - 2017

2017-01-02 Thread John Teague via Meteorite-list 



Hey, List Members!

I have it on good authority that Tucson is fast approaching!  With that in 
mind, I am once again giving my “7th Annual Eating Your Way Around Tucson” 
list, a slight name change from last year.  This list has been put together 
with over twenty years of attending the shows.  These are my opinions (well, my 
wife, Cookie, too!) only.  I have no vested interest in any of these 
establishments, no free food, etc!  I just like good food!  Maybe you will find 
my/our tastes different from yours but all of these are worth a try!

Again this year, I am leaving for Tucson mid-January! This will be my sixth 
year to make the 2200 mile (each way!) drive to Tucson.  My wife, Cookie, did 
retire in 2015 and will, once again, make the dive with me (for only the second 
time!) rather than flying!

I'm sure there are other great places to eat.  We are ALWAYS open for 
suggestions!  I hope others will offer their suggestions!  Shoot us an e-mail:  
volg...@icx.net

I am adding some new locations suggested by list members last year after prior 
posts.  We did get to try some of them and enjoyed them VERY much.  I hope to 
add more this year!

First, new recommendations from folks I know and trust:

From mineral dealer Dennis Beals - http://www.xtal-dbeals.com/
Mariscos Chihuahua Mexican Restaurant
1009 N Grande Ave Tucson AZ 85745 US
520-623-3563
http://www.mariscoschihuahua.com/welcome.html
We have learned that if Dennis says, “It’s good!” …

A good standby for a GREAT, inexpensive meal …
Mama's Hawaiian Bar-B-Cue, 850 East Speedway Blvd., 520-792-2350
Other locations include:  8300 N. Thornydale Rd., 520-572-5225 and 6310 E. 
Tanque Verde, 520-770-7800
We always eat at Mama’s SEVERAL times each Tucson trip!

NEW FAVORITES for us!
Fist, a BIG “Thank you!” to Terry Sayther from Austin Texas!  Terry sent us a 
couple of suggestions for breakfast … or ANYtime!  We are calling them “MUSTS”!

MUST #1:  Bobo's Restaurant, 2938 E. Grant Road, 520-326-6163 
http://www.bobostucson.com/  We at there ‘more than once’ in 2014!  Everything 
is GREAT!  I have to be gluten free but try the pancakes!  They are the size of 
a plate!  The omelets are WONDERFUL!  Check out the deserts!  Once again, 
Bobo’s ROCKS!

MUST #2:  Robert’s Restaurant (closed Sunday), 3301 East Grant Road, (520) 
795-1436 http://www.robertstucson.com/  We also visited Robert’s a couple of 
times!  Robert’s is just down the street from Bobo’s but on the opposite side 
of Grant!  You cannot go wrong with either choice!

MUST #3:  Teresa’a Mosaic Café, 2456 N. Silver Mosaic Dr. (at Grant Rd, behind 
McDonalds), Tucson, AZ - 520-624-4512.  GREAT Mexican food!  WONDERFUL 
margaritas!  http://www.teresamosaiccafe.com/

If you are looking for GREAT ‘diner’ eats, give Little Anthony's Diner (, 7010 
E Broadway Blvd, 520-296-0456) a try.  If you like milkshakes the ‘old 
fashioned way’ (with the ‘extra’ shake that won’t fit into you LARGE shake 
glass delivered to you table in the metal mixing cup, complete with frost on 
the outside!) then Little Anthony’s Diner is for you! 
http://littleanthonysdiner.com/  Little Anthony’s also sponsor car shows in 
their huge parking lot.  Like old and new cars and trucks, be there Saturday 
1/23 and/or 2/6 10am-2pm to see some cool vehicles!  I know this is not

Re: [meteorite-list] [9/52]: NWA 8159, Martian augite basalt available for sale

2016-12-22 Thread John Teague via Meteorite-list 
Mendy,

Actually 1MB is NOT reasonable ... for the webb or phones/pads.  The resolution 
on these are such that there is really no difference from a 60-110KB pic and a 
1MB, no difference in 'clear and sharp' of the images due to the resolution of 
the device.  If one is downloading your message on a phone/pads, the download 
time difference is dramatic.

As to "One of the reasons the list is inactive is what used to be the inability 
to add images", an even greater source is the 'attitude' of too many long-time 
posters, their language, and the arguments.  For a number of years I had a info 
sheet that I provided to customers at mineral and fossil show with sources for 
additional information about their purchases.  Initially I included 
meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com list.  After too many complaints from 
returning customers, both in person at later shows or via e-mail, about the 
list, I was forced to remove meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com from my 
information sheet.

Just my thoughts .. no additional charge!

John

[meteorite-list] 8th Annual Eating Your Way Around Tucson - 2018

2017-12-26 Thread John Teague via Meteorite-list 
8th Annual Eating Your Way Around Tucson - 2018

Hey, List Members!

I have it on good authority that Tucson is fast approaching!  With that in 
mind, I am once again giving my “8th Annual Eating Your Way Around Tucson” 
list, a slight name change from last year.  This list has been put together 
with over twenty years of attending the shows.  These are my opinions (well, my 
wife, Cookie, too!) only.  I have no vested interest in any of these 
establishments, no free food, etc!  I just like good food!  Maybe you will find 
my/our tastes different from yours but all of these are worth a try!

Again this year, I am leaving for Tucson mid-January! This will be my sixth 
year to make the 2200 mile (each way!) drive to Tucson.  My wife, Cookie, did 
retire in 2015 and will, once again, make the dive with me (for only the second 
time!) rather than flying!

BIG news for us, we’re in the process of making the move and relocate in New 
Mexico and Arizona … house in Albuquerque and a condo in Tucson!

I'm sure there are other great places to eat.  We are ALWAYS open for 
suggestions!  I hope others will offer their suggestions!  Shoot us an e-mail:  
volg...@icx.net

I am adding some new locations suggested by list members last year after prior 
posts.  We did get to try some of them and enjoyed them VERY much.  I hope to 
add more this year!

First, new recommendations from folks I know and trust:

For breakfast:  Julian Gray suggested Teresa's Mosaic, 2456 N Silver Mosaic Dr, 
(520) 624-4512, http://www.teresamosaiccafe.com/ We took Julian’s suggestion 
MORE than once and totally enjoyed the incredible breakfast offerings!

Sarah Christensen suggested Wildflower, 7037 N Oracle Road, 520.219.4230, Daily 
11am - 9pm

We were taken by friends to Poco and Mom’s Cantina, 7000 E. Tanque Verde, 
520-296-9759, Monday: Closed, Tuesday-Friday: 8AM - 9PM, Saturday and Sunday: 
7AM - 9PM  GREAT food! https://pocoandmoms.com/the-cantina/

Other friends took us to Casa Molina Restaurant, 6225 E Speedway Blvd, 
Hours:  11AM–10PM, 520-886-5468 - http://casamolina.com/ We WILL return more 
than once this year!

We heard really good things about Saguaro Corners Restaurant & Bar – 
“Unpretentious watering hole offering tavern eats & spirits, plus an outdoor 
patio/bar & live music.” - 3750 S Old Spanish Trail, Mon — Thu 11am — 8:30pm, 
Friday and Saturday - 11am — 9:30pm, Sat 9am — 9:30pm and Sun 9am — 
8:30pmPhone: (520) 886-2020 http://www.saguarocorners.net/

Next, ‘new restaurants from last year’ 2017

From mineral dealer Dennis Beals - http://www.xtal-dbeals.com/
Mariscos Chihuahua Mexican Restaurant
1009 N Grande Ave Tucson AZ 85745 US
520-623-3563
http://www.mariscoschihuahua.com/welcome.html
We have learned that if Dennis says, “It’s good!” …


A good standby for a GREAT, inexpensive meal …
Mama's Hawaiian Bar-B-Cue, 850 East Speedway Blvd., 520-792-2350
Other locations include:  8300 N. Thornydale Rd., 520-572-5225 and 6310 E. 
Tanque Verde, 520-770-7800
We always eat at Mama’s SEVERAL times each Tucson trip!


NEW FAVORITES for us!
Fist, a BIG “Thank you!” to Terry Sayther from Austin Texas!  Terry sent us a 
couple of suggestions for breakfast … or ANYtime!  We are calling them “MUSTS”!

MUST #1:  Bobo's Restaurant, 2938 E. Grant Road, 520-326-6163 
http://www.bobostucson.com/  We at there ‘more than once’ in 2014!  Everything 
is GREAT!  I have to be gluten free but try the pancakes!  They are the size of 
a plate!  The omelets are WONDERFUL!  Check out the deserts!  Once again, 
Bobo’s ROCKS!

MUST #2:  Robert’s Restaurant (closed Sunday), 3301 East Grant Road, (520) 
795-1436 http://www.robertstucson.com/  We also visited Robert’s a couple of 
times!  Robert’s is just down the street from Bobo’s but on the opposite side 
of Grant!  You cannot go wrong with either choice!

MUST #3:  Teresa’a Mosaic Café, 2456 N. Silver Mosaic Dr. (at Grant Rd, behind 
McDonalds), Tucson, AZ - 520-624-4512.  GREAT Mexican food!  WONDERFUL 
margaritas!  http://www.teresamosaiccafe.com/

If you are looking for GREAT ‘diner’ eats, give Little Anthony's Diner (, 7010 
E Broadway Blvd, 520-296-0456) a try.  If you like milkshakes the ‘old 
fashioned way’ (with the ‘extra’ shake that won’t fit into you LARGE shake 
glass delivered to you table in the metal mixing cup, complete with frost on 
the outside!) then Little Anthony’s Diner is for you! 
http://littleanthonysdiner.com/  Little Anthony’s also sponsor car shows in 
their huge parking lot.  Like old and new cars and trucks, be there Saturday 
1/23 and/or 2/6 10am-2pm to see some cool vehicles!  I know this is not 
food/eating related but check out The Gaslight Theatre (next to, and associated 
with Little Anthony’s!) http://thegaslighttheatre.com/!  During Tucson show 
time, the Gaslight offers an old west themed, hilarious melodrama!  We have 
attended each year for several years and have enjoyed each performance!  This 
year’s production is “The Cisco Kid”.  You can order your

It never ceases to amaze me ... someone floats a 'controversial' idea, implying 
they want input ... and when that input does NOT necessarily agree with their 
original idea, act totally offended!

At such a point, I must ask, why?  Why did you ask for 'input'?
