[meteorite-list] Tucson

[MexicoDoug]

Hi Ed, I'm sorry you can't make it to Tucson, but if you don't have 
dental insurance, you'll probably get a better work for half the price 
right across the border from Tucson/Nogales and can make your trip 
worthwhile.

Plus you might find some interesting stuff in Yaqui culture if you look 
hard enough in that territory.  Really from a meteorite hunting 
perspective it's hard to top the Yaquis.  They traditionally believe 
that everything that "inhabits" the desert intercommunicates with a 
proto-language.  This includes (especially) rocks.  I have always 
wondered what lore of meteorites they might have and what they would 
make of it and you would be the guy to work that out.  Maybe a 
full-blooded Yaqui fluent in the old language could ask the rocks where 
they keep their meteorites ;-) as a bonus!  Anyway, a super interesting 
never-conquered culture which if not for commercialization of "La 
Bamba" would probably get even more respect and a better 
understanding...

Anyway, the Deer Dance is all about the arid desert hunt where 
successfully finding and bagging one is a matter of survival.  Here's 
an excellent no bullshit/no props representation of it to whet your 
appetite:

But back to this, you will find excellent english speaking dentists in 
Nogales at:

Kindest wishes
Doug

Hi everyone -

I will not be able to go to Tucson this year, as the need for a root 
canal (and
its expense) has intervened. I hope those of you expecting to get 
signed copies
of "Man and Impact in the Americss"  there will not be too disappointed.

I also want to apologize to those who were expecting more from me on 
the First
Peoples and meteorites, as I now realize due to the actions of a few 
individuals
out there I can not participate in making that information public.

have a great time,
Ed
