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-cagó and croaks 
from the Strewn Field Boys (I'm  auditioning for a spot there) at the new 
birthday bash  Buffetttttttttt.
