Am I the only one wondering what happened to Michael Johnson's Rocks from Space POD?

It's been quite a while since I have seen one posted to the list and I am going into withdrawal symptoms.
Without my daily dose of meteoritic eye candy, I have one less reason to drink my coffee in the morning. ;)

Did Mr. Johnson go on vacation? I hope everything is alright. :)

Regards and clear skies,

MikeG
