the point at which i watched one pass between myself and the other 
side of a shallow valley a quarter mile distant - the third, 
increasingly close encounter in the space of several months - was 
when i ceased wishing to witness one actually splash down in order to 
retrieve it

i mean, documented or not, i find the prospect of death by heavenly 
stoning somehow lacking in appeal - not that i'm likely to do, or 
deserve, better

understand meteorites were much valued in stone age societies - being 
a rockhound, i've always fancied having one as well
