As much as I would love to take credit for the clever idea of vacuum packing
this material..., your seller on this item was 'ivebeenrobbed'.
The last item I had the pleasure of shipping to you was Anne Black and the
Jensen's very nice book, 'Meteorites A to Z'.

You will all be pleased to know we will be updating Wendi's page soon.
Less excited, I'm sure, to know that I will be adding a new meteorite page
as well. Ah... some of us simply dwell in the shadows of stars. I did
actually receive 1 (one, yes only 1 - thank you Anne!) comment on the
meteorites 101 page. I don't think a single other person got past my wife's
bellydancing link. I don't blame you at all. It's amazing I get any work
done with such a splendid distraction dancing around the house all the time.
Like I said before, now you know why I'm always smiling.

All the best,
-Robert Beauford : )

(Since I've recently learned my true place in the world, and since, in
addition to this silly meteorite related stuff, I wish to also provide you
with information that may actually be of use or interest, Wendi's ebay id is
'bellydance')
