[meteorite-list] Ensisheim: last news, last call

[Galactic Stone & Ironworks]

Good luck and safe travels to the lucky people who attend the show
this year.  I look forward to seeing new photos and hearing the
stories told afterwards. :)

BTW - is Sulagiri/Hosur a "hammer" ??

If so, I want some! LOL :)

Best regards,

MikeG
