Dave has been missing in action lately so I called his home and spoke with his wife Naomi. She informed me that he had a stroke last week, but they are pleased he's doing well and is expected to return home by Christmas. I hope Dave doesn't want to ring my neck sharing this news, but he's an important member here and many of us think well of him and would want to know. 1dave when you read this I want you to know you're not off the hook for completing the agate book and I still want my autographed copy!

Tell your son you reconsidered his question and then ask him to perform some act of service for you as a gift. It will increase your bond together and generate joy within himself.

Good for you, stefanA year ago I decided to eat better and so I utilized my garden a lot for our food needs. I wasn't really trying to lose weight but I lost 40 pounds within a few months just by cutting processed foods out of my diet and using the garden for everything possible.

It was six degrees here yesterday and today, plus we got some significant snow last week. I'm grateful for the precipitation because of the drought we've had for several years now. When it gets cold like this I remind myself it's all relative because I remember numerous 50 below zero days when I was in northwest Wyoming. And that's nothing compared to what they get in eastern Siberia, or Tok, Alaska.
I have to admit that the older I get, the more I like room temperature.

Jean, I've always gotten the impression that you are tougher than woodpecker lips and if anyone is going to sail through this it will be you. All the best, Randy.

That reminds me, I have to get some insulated hose bib covers to keep from freezing up. There's supposed to be a serious cold wave coming next week.

Payment received and poo on it's way. I was able to dig out the coprolite just in the nick of time before a big snowstorm buried them. All's well.

That certainly does look like the structure of coprolite, but those colors are fantastic! I'd be happy to display a piece like that! The colors are magnificent and uncommon in my experience. I believe that structure and contrast is a more reliable indicator of coprolite from the American southwest. If you get a chance put a UV lamp on it because most coprolite from this area will glow a yellow - green.

Thanks for donating that precious poop to a good cause, RWA3006 ! I was expecting this one might go a little higher, so I bumped the amount up to what I thought it should have been and sent the contribution to stonemon 's fund. brian you are a good human. Some of the best humans I know are on this forum. I've only met two of them in person, Dave and Lynn of Cedar City, but I'm certain so many others are of this high caliber.

Funny story. Over three decades ago I was involved with the US Biathlon team which involves cross country skiing, an extremely aerobic sport. One year the top female biathlete, Olympic caliber material, became well known for her favorite hydration drink..... Dr. Pepper.
