[meteorite-list] Meteorite Day, June 30th

[MARK BOSTICK]

Hello list,

A list member recently brought to my attention, Meteorite Day, celebrated 
June 30th.  This appears to be perhaps an American Greeting Card company 
promotion...as they have a tried to turn every day into a holiday, and June 
also includes Remote Control Day and No More TV Day in the same month, but 
hey, who am I to Bah Humbug "Meteorite Day", and it is the anniversary of 
the 1908 Tunguska event, which appears to be the reason in the "holiday".

If you search Google you can find free Meteorite Day e-mail cards.  Now one 
has to wonder, what are the traditions of meteorite day.  Hang tektites from 
a tree?, Hide meteorites in the yard for kids to find? Any meteorite day 
parade planned? Stockings full of carbonaceous meteorites?

Clear Skies,
Mark Bostick
