As an expatriate Ohioan, do I get dibs on the Ohio meteorites or the
Hawaiian ones? My pidgin accent isn't that great ("Ho, brah, we got da
kine Honolulu an' da kine Palolo Valley") but I suspect that a decade and
a half in tropical climes has corrupted my flat Midwestern accent.
Besides, I only have 2 Ohio meteorites in my collection (Powellsville and
New Concord, although I'm always looking for more!) and 1 Hawaiian one
(Honolulu; Palolo Valley seems to have vanished off the radar for
collecting.) Does that have a bearing on anything? :-)

p.s. Ron, any word on the returning NASA probe that may impact Earth? My
husband just emailed me the CNN article. I'll be standing out in left
field with my catcher's mitt!
