Some explanations are just awesome..." dehydrated remnants of long-subducted tectonic slabs." Great find, Stig...NOW I know what is going on. ;)

Stephen....Yogi was my hero...picnic baskets....YUM!!

Yowsa!! that's good, RB...I'll take your word on the semantics...yours sounds WAY cooler. Shoot, didn't know I did something that cool...a "side gin pole rigging point"...I suwannee! :D No worries here about looking out for the kids. I hope/trust you guys to drill me if something in my...
