Howdy ladies and gents

     I have an important update for the Coloma fall. This may be my
last major update, but I think y'all will like it.

     For the record, a 10-20 kg CM chondrite would be about a
quarter-meter in diameter. Salivating yet? I am.

     I do have one request. If the media approaches you, please be
insistent in pointing out the role that weather radar played in finding
this fall and direct them to me. I am NOT fishing for attention for
myself - I honestly couldn't care less about it. But media attention is
a currency of a sort, and its a currency that I can spend to try to get
funding for this work. If I can get funding, then I can produce data
like this with better speed and quality, which will help everyone. Most
of you already have my phone number - please pass it on to the media.

Enjoy!
Marc Fries
