I was daydreaming tonight (?) while sitting in my back yard about seeing a = huge fireball and having meteorites showering down all around me. I then = asked myself this question and thought seriously about the answer, if a was = lucky enough to have that happen and a large individual hit me and maybe = shattered a bone in my leg, what would be the first thing I would do? After = looking deep inside myself, I could honestly say that I would drag myself along = with the meteorite inside, weigh it take a pic or two of my meteorite and leg = and email the list, then and only then would I seek medical attention! Is this wrong? What would you do? : ) Thanks, Tom peregrineflier <>< IMCA #6168 Dear Just Sick What you are experiencing is a deep seated phobia of loosing a meteorite = when it falls and, much like the common dream of finding yourself = hopelessly trapped at a quilting bee dressed in only your Marvin the = Martian boxers, you fear that your friends and peers will laugh = uncontrollably at you. But! This is an easy fear to impact. You only need to take a 1955 = double-die lincoln cent and toss it in your local mall's fountain along = with the thousands of other pennies already there to see how unfounded = your fear of loosing a meteorite really is. Don't wait to effect this = sure though, I can't wait by that fountain all day!
