This has turned out to be the meteorite fall of the century. So many =
great stories over the past week of people with their cars and houses =
hit. It is also refreshing to know that most of the people who have =
benefited really need the money. You can't blame them for asking as =
much as the market will bear for their once-in-a-lifetime finds. I =
think the even if I wasn't a meteorite collector I would not even =
consider selling a meteorite that fell through my roof. Just how many =
times in the past has this happened? Not many.

It is too bad that the weather in Chicago has not been co-operating as =
it will be interesting to see how quickly the specimens rust that sit =
out in the rainy weather only to be found a week after the fall. It is =
possible that the weight of the pristine specimens will be far less =
than the total weight of this fall once it is ultimately determined.
