The meteorites are probably magnetite. A streak test on porcelain made a wider, darker mark than a known sample.

Fun weekend at Mount Lemmon. It even snowed a bit. Fireplaces, ridiculous games, laughter, cheesecake, chili, chicken soup, babies, teenagers, and of course hiking.

The forest is coming back after the fire. There are a lot of gorgeous carbon skeletons of huge trees, and there are also ferns, aspen, and baby pine trees. Cool, clear water burbled under a floating blanket of pink and amber maple leaves.

The appraisal on the land is pending. Once that’s done, I think we break ground. House, septic, and water first, then electricity.

Yowza. And wow.

Bow wow.
