When I was in West, TX a woman told me that someone had painted some rocks black and placed them on her lawn; I never got to see them as I had met her on the road when was I was returning to my car.? I had to leave and she had to go to town.? I really wanted to see them.? Practical Jokes... aren't they just so fun to do when you're a kid.

>> The "four million dollar meteorite" showed up that I mentioned yesterday. The sad thing is that these people actually convince themselves that these are real meteorites and that they are worth millions. This guy thinks his is exactly like Sonny's find that he saw on TV, only bigger. He says that he did his research, went to the neighborhood and found it, figuring a professional must have missed it. He wrote to me that he sealed it in a coffee can and smelled it a couple of days later. He stated that he could detect the unmistakable smell of Murchinson that only carbon type meteorites give off. I believe this object is made out of tar and that is what he is smelling or he has been sniffing the sauce (drinking too much alcohol). Either way, this is another heartbreak in the making.
