Hi list, Paul should have the May Meteorite Times up real soon. I do a
little thing called Micro Visions. It is usually just a few cool shots of the
latest material I was working with. This May issue I covered microscopes. I
show different kinds of microscopes and the images you can get from them.

It is not a pitch for "one brand is better than an other" or any thing
preachy like that. Just what type will give you these results, sort of thing.

Last month was on using the quarter wave plate (retardation plate) from a
Sony Play Station III Blue Ray Disk Reader in thin section examination. If you
didn't check it out just hit back issues and then April. It is worth the
time.

Anyway, I like to get emails and to answer them but I am heading out with a
truck tomorrow morning. Back to Idaho. The place that is shown in Martin
Horejsi's From The Strewn Fields article in August 2006 Meteorite Magazine.
We gave Nashville, Tennessee a try but... I took 4 truck loads out so I
imagine it will be 4 to get back.

I won't be able to answer emails with any timeliness. I will try and catch
up every couple weeks for a while and I didn't want anyone to think I was
being rude or didn't want to talk.

Since Martin moved to Montana, I don't know of too many list members in the
area of South East Idaho. I am practically in Salt Lake City (2 hours). Is
any one in the area who likes to cut rocks, hunt rocks, polish rocks, look at
rocks or just talk about rocks?
