Hi Doug -

I wouldn't try it without your wonderful personal help.
I don't know how to say "more lidocaine" in Spanish.

My guess as to where the Yaqui meteorites are is in their pockets or in their houses.

You could just ask them, and unless you're too greedy or obsessed, they'd likely tell you. The key is respect, and remembering that they have their own way of looking at things, and valuing them.

E.P.
