[meteorite-list] Summer time slowdown

[tett]

Having a nice coffee on a slow Saturday morning while relaxing at my 
computer I began to contemplate meteorites and I picked up my gorgeous 
~250gram Chergach individual (Thanks Roman!).  I began to realize that 
summer time is a slow time for me when it comes to meteorites.  Not that my 
love for them wanes but other interests and activities and commitments arise 
during the summer and over the years I found that I simply stop going nuts 
over meteorites and turn my attention to other things.  One big distraction 
is motorcycles.  I spend as much time on the open road cruising on my 
Valkyrie or bombing on my 1975 CB750.  Never enough time to ride one of my 
bikes and even my wife complains that I do not take her riding enough.

I have no fear that my love(lust) for meteorites will explode again this 
fall as it has every year for the past dozen years or so.  In October I hope 
to pop in on Bernd and that will definitely kick me in the back side and get 
my meteorite saliva flowing.

All this contemplation got me to thinking about you other guys and gals 
hooked on stellar stones.  Is your love for meteorites cyclical?  Is that 
why the list is so slow right now?  What seasonal activities distract others 
from meteorites? Are sales slowest this time of year?

Have a great Saturday!
