If one ever lands in the same area of my property you can bet it
magically moves to the middle of my yard! Close enough as the actual landing
spot no?!

I'm glad the boys "won", I think Monahans saw a PR disaster looming. Will
the boys keep a piece for themselve's? They really should, it won't happen
to them again! Do they actually realise the scope of what has occured? I
mean the fact that this "space rock" traveled a heck of a long ways to get
here?! Plus the fact that it landed very close to where they were playing?!
We all should be so lucky! I also hope they got a little education about
meteorites through all this too.
