Hello.
In fact, Jordi is not of this planet. He arrived aboard a meteorite from the planet Meteor. So can not talk about meteorites. Are the memories ....
But who was traveling with him?


Interesting amygdules there!

As I was leaving Tucson this year and stopped at the grade crossing on 6th, I see Jordi headed out of town with an empty wagon. Business must be good.

True. In fact I don't arrived yet to Barcelona so I'm in process to evaluate to come back to Tucson now and remain there waiting for 2016! ;-)

Being a young man on the lookout for saleable minerals, Jordi searches for a place to park his ass in the town of Morenci, AZ.. He had heard that Peter Megaw was snooping around a hole in the ground and needed to see what he was up to.

However, sometimes you don't even need to look around Peter's holes. You can find amazing stuff just below the tables as shown in this photo. And they are even already packed and ready to bring home, unless a savage collector sets up a raid and takes them all away...

Yes, Fiebre, they arrived safely, only to begin work on restocking their inventory.

Jordi and crew, ever on the lookout for fine, new, specimens, on their way to a new find. This was their last stop before entering the trackless wilderness so any last minute needs could be filled. They forged on.

Looks like Jordi needed a twenty mule team to get out all of his inventory when he left Tucson this time.

I suggest running all these postings backwards. Then we might see Jordi gathering his stock and returning to Tucson where we might just get to see him again! :) BOB

I'm just thinking about this. I doubt what could be better, retire to a monastery or kill Vic with my own hands. The second is what I reallly want to do but I'm afraid he could be a hard nut to crack ;-) ;-)

Thanks Vic, I love you too! ;-) ;-) ;-)
