A meteorite for Paris - before, incredibly ... and now a dream come
true.

I could not resist Matthias, since the French culture is so
commendable, more than almost anything, polite and refined - second
only to being French itself.

Probably, this Parisian meteorite will be a highly desirable ingredient
of one of the tastiest and oldest cuisines of meteorites in the world.
It will be spectacular to see, if the material's distribution stays
very restricted, whether one must request the prices on the menu for
fine dining in a French restaurant for the ordinary fare ... ; and
whether soft words butter no parsnips - from the finest chefs of France
! How exciting to be in Paris, these days ... un souhait, I wish, my
wish ...

(Pining over those lost nights of a nostalgic summer in Paris, which
now seems so long ago)

Kindest wishes, et, L'addition s'il vous plait. Oh non! Je fais la
vaisselle, monsieur! ;-)
Doug

Good example for countenance and politeness, Doug. Once an old
Icelander,
while fighting in a battle, was penetrated by an enemy's lance. The man
fell
down to the ground, dying, and wondering: "this type of broad lances
really
seems to become into fashion today." Could easily be transformed in a
meteorite-related story :-)

Wish all of you a nice Sunday,
Matthias
