If I were to tell my non-meteorite friends that someone (well, most of us,
especially me!) would actually have that shiney rock than a Ferrari, they'd
laugh and would never understand.

I wouldn't blink at the opportunity. Mike, congrats on having your
priorities in line.

I spent the day realizing that I would trade my entire collection for a
stellar crusted piece of Tissint. (Well, I may have to keep a few!)

Unfortunately, I've made the decision to forego the expense to visit
Tucson...fortunately, it is to aquire such a specimen.... Serious!
