Meteorites in Them Thar Fields
By EMMA GRAVES FITZSIMMONS
NY TIMES

MADISON, WI (and vicinity)
On the first day, there was light. On the third, a land strewn with
meteorites.

A spectacular meteorite shower that lighted the sky in several Midwestern
states Wednesday night sent meteorite hunters scrambling to get to
southwestern Wisconsin during the past two days for the pieces of rock from
outer space.

Initial bragging rights went to Terry Boudreaux, a 49-year-old collector
from the Chicago area. After reports of a fireball in the sky surfaced
Wednesday night, Mr. Boudreaux calculated the meteorites' path and took his
two sons out of school Thursday to drive four hours to Livingston, Wis.

A fireball lighted the sky in Madison, Wis., Wednesday night, part of a
meteorite shower, as seen on a rooftop webcam operated by the University of
Wisconsin Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences Department.

They were dejected after a day of searching in vain, Mr. Boudreaux said,
when a dairy farmer approached them with a rock he had found in his
driveway and asked if it was a meteorite.

"Our first reaction was one of disbelief," Mr. Boudreaux said Friday. "I
expected it to be a piece of asphalt."

He said he gave the farmer $200 for the meteorite, which is about the size
of a quarter, and planned to donate it to the Field Museum of Natural
History in Chicago. He would not disclose the farm's location because he
did not want competition when he went back to look for more.

A <== LIVINGSTON, WISCONSIN

Paul P. Sipiera, adjunct curator of meteorites at the Field Museum, said
the fireball effect was a result of friction and heat generated when a
meteor hit Earth's atmosphere, which caused it to burn up and break apart.

Michael Farmer, an Arizona collector who was on his way to Wisconsin on
Friday, said there could be hundreds of meteorites in the vicinity, with a
total value of as much as $1 million. They are often sold online or to
museums.

"Something this big only happens once every few years," Mr. Farmer said.
"It will be like a gold rush."

NY TIMES OBITUARY (excerpt)

Mr. Raabe, who was also a wartime aviator and the first Little Oscar, the mascot of the Oscar Mayer meat company, died Friday in Orange Park, Fla., at 94. Bob Rigel, president of the Penney Retirement Community in Penney Farms, Fla., where Mr. Raabe had lived since 1986, said that the cause had not been officially determined but that it was presumed to be a heart attack.

Meinhardt Raabe was born on Sept. 2, 1915, in Watertown, Wis. Though he never surpassed 4 feet 7 inches at his tallest (he continued to grow till he was in his 30s), he did not hear the word dwarf, or even midget, until he was a young adult. No one in his community had seen a person with dwarfism before. Growing up, he later said, he assumed there was no one else in the world like him.

That changed in 1933, when the young Mr. Raabe visited the Midget Village at the Chicago World's Fair. There before his eyes was a world of men and women just like him. Thrilled, he took a job as a barker there the next summer.

Mr. Raabe received a bachelor's degree in accounting from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, in 1937, and an M.B.A. from Drexel University in Philadelphia in 1970. A skilled aviator, he served stateside in the Civil Air Patrol in World War II, by all accounts the smallest pilot in uniform.

On graduating from Wisconsin, Mr. Raabe was turned down for one corporate job after another. As he recalled in his autobiography, "Memories of a Munchkin" (Back Stage Books, 2005; with Daniel Kinske), one recruiter told him he belonged in a carnival.

He eventually joined Oscar Mayer as a salesman. After the company made him Little Oscar, "the World's Smallest Chef," he spent nearly 30 years touring the country in the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile, promoting the company's hotdogs..

At his death, Mr. Raabe was one of a handful of surviving Munchkins from the film.

Forget Meg Whitman -- is Jerry Brown ready for Lowell Darling?

We caught up this week with Lowell Darling, the conceptual artist challenging Attorney General Jerry Brown for the Democratic nomination for governor. (Thirty-two years ago, Darling also ran against the then-sitting governor, and both men have been busy since).

Darling told us he filed his paperwork with the Secretary of State and is moving ahead, full throttle. He's even got some more press since we wrote about his run last month.

"Unless I screwed up it looks like it's going to happen," he said.

Of course, his competitor has sucked up most of the attention this week, since he finally threw this hat in the ring after months of refusing to officially commit.

Darling's reaction?:

"I guess he didn't take my competition seriously," he said of Brown.

paulina Greetings,

Please excuse me for all the inconveniences my mail could cause you. I have the pleasure to expose to you my predicaments. Please even if we never knew before, I believe firmly that on the basis of the right of humanitarian assistance that a real confidence and love can arise from our communication.

I was told by the doctor few days ago that my liver was damaged beyond control as result of poisonous food my step mother served me and that I can only live for some months.

I believe my step mother out of her selfish greed wanted me dead by all means because she did not have a child for my late father and that was why he(My Father) willed his deposited treasures to me as his only daughter.

Because of her plight, I have decided to donate a reasonable part of this treasure to Mosques, churches,and charitable Organizations. The reason is that my late father never wanted me to live in Africa that was why he instructed them never to release this treasure to me here.

As soon I receive your response I will explain further and send you my personal documents legalizing the treasures; on the other hand if I don't hear from you within two or three days. I will be left with no option then to look for other person willing to execute my wish.

Remain blessed as I wish you accomplish my wish.

Pray for me always.
Sincerely,
Paulina

VIA WIKIPEDIA: All Fools' Day

Origins: In Chaucer's Canterbury Tales (1392), the "Nun's Priest's Tale" is set "Syn March bigan thritty dayes and two" Chaucer probably meant 32 days after March, i.e. May 2, the anniversary of the engagement of King Richard
II of England to Anne of Bohemia, which took place in 1381. However, readers apparently misunderstood this to mean "March 32," i.e April 1.

In 1508, a French poet referred to a "poisson dâ avril" (April fool, literally "April fish"). In 1539, Flemish poet Eduard de Dene wrote of a nobleman who sent his servants on foolish errands on April 1. In 1686, John Aubrey referred to the holiday as "Fooles Holy Day". On April 1, 1698, people were tricked into going to the Tower of London to "see Lions washed."

FROM WIKIPEDIA "EASTER BUNNY"

According to tradition, German children would build brightly colored nests, often out of caps and bonnets, in secluded areas of their homes. The "O_ster Haws_e" would, if the children had been good, lay brightly colored eggs in the nest. As the tradition spread, the nest became the Easter basket, and placing of the nest in a secluded area has become the tradition of hiding baskets.
