Hola Ed, Well all the stone meteorite groups that size would seem to be
right at or under a billion tons for a spherical one - just 20% the mass of a
Canary. I don't know where I'm a gonna go when dee volcano blow, but, I don't
wanna go to no San Dee-iego...on top of a Tsubame or Tsuru (Two popular cars
from a Japanese manufacturer on the road in Mexico...the first translates
pretty much to "get on for a ride")

(scroll down to title song second from bottom)

I hear the friendly, awesome Steve Arnold Band will be performing this song
live with backup from the Sistas Meteoritical Ensamble of She-cag? and croaks
from the Strewn Field Boys (I'm auditioning for a spot there) at the new
birthday bash Buffetttttttttt.

Saludos, Doug
