Hi Ed, I'm sorry you can't make it to Tucson, but if you don't have
dental insurance, you'll probably get a better work for half the price
right across the border from Tucson/Nogales and can make your trip
worthwhile.

Plus you might find some interesting stuff in Yaqui culture if you look
hard enough in that territory. Really from a meteorite hunting
perspective it's hard to top the Yaquis. They traditionally believe
that everything that "inhabits" the desert intercommunicates with a
proto-language. This includes (especially) rocks. I have always
wondered what lore of meteorites they might have and what they would
make of it and you would be the guy to work that out. Maybe a
full-blooded Yaqui fluent in the old language could ask the rocks where
they keep their meteorites ;-) as a bonus! Anyway, a super interesting
never-conquered culture which if not for commercialization of "La
Bamba" would probably get even more respect and a better
understanding...

Anyway, the Deer Dance is all about the arid desert hunt where
successfully finding and bagging one is a matter of survival. Here's
an excellent no bullshit/no props representation of it to whet your
appetite:

But back to this, you will find excellent english speaking dentists in
Nogales at:

Kindest wishes

Hi everyone -

I will not be able to go to Tucson this year, as the need for a root
canal (and
its expense) has intervened. I hope those of you expecting to get
signed copies
of "Man and Impact in the Americss" there will not be too disappointed.

I also want to apologize to those who were expecting more from me on
the First
Peoples and meteorites, as I now realize due to the actions of a few
individuals
out there I can not participate in making that information public.

have a great time,
Ed
