Hi Carl, just checking in if you got the email I sent you about your post. I got your email off of your gravatar and am not sure if it’s current or not. Or maybe there’s just something weird between our mails since mine wouldn’t work for you. Anyways I had just wanted to let you know that your post is going up on the 8th and see if you wanted to add any commentary to the art work. Otherwise it’s ready and scheduled. I coulda swore your gravatar just blinked at me right now, and I was like, wow is that a gif, but now I’ve been staring at it and I must just be tired cause no more blinks… Thanks so much for your contribution to the series! I really appreciate it.
Sometimes I can radiate good karma or perhaps a twinkle in the eye from a rare joyous moment. When you do an art picture it is best to let its viewership compose the commentary . I look forward to publication and thanks for letting me participate in your quality effort.
Excellent. A weathered wizened old man from Bisbee once said to me;” That’s what people do in Arizona, they move rocks from one place to another.” Then he walked on, big rock looming over his head. Thought of him, and how right he was, when I saw your hilarious cartoon. Thank you Carl. Have an excellent weekend.
Oh, the fossils they do abound here. I’ve shown people areas with sea shells and had them claim the area was ‘seeded’, somehow I had infused shells into solid rock…because certainly there was never an inland sea, uplift…no geology story here to tell. All my best to you Carl.

On the other hand they have that “climb any mountain” confidence.

Yes, I remember them. Two mild mannered and delightful fellows they were. Then there is Rocky and Bullwinkle.

I like turquoise, jade, tiger eye and lapus lazuli and garnets. Arizona – someday I will go there for fossil hunt.
