She and I were hunkered down in our Stucco Hacienda on another really windy day on the High Plains. The sky was filled with dust and grit. A weird yellow light came through the windows. "I wish I was at the beach," said The Lady of the House....
Gathering round the fossilized lump, the conversation will likely descend into educated speculation ... Certainly it was royalty, perhaps even a demigod, who dined on gem stones fed by faithful commoners seeking favor. No, it must have been a mine worker, who in its exuberance over discovering a cache of precious nuggets, accidentally inhaled the prize.
