[Rockhounds] TUCSON!!

[John & Gloria Cornish]

Hi Everyone,

It's 7:58 pm as I write here at the Inn Suites. In the back round the wailing cries of bagpipes surrealy fill the air. A local Scottish group is celebrating with music, singing, dancing and haggis! While a private affair, the music carries throughout the lobby area.

I checked in today. Stripping the room down is always the first priority. Then come the display cases. Here we hit a small glitch and a broken window resulted. Thankfully the guys had this fixed without delay and we were off and flying like nothing had happened. Afterwards, I made a run for food, both from the restaurant and from the grocery store. Then back here and I've been cleaning glass ever since. This is the ultimate drudgery of the show and takes sooo long to do. But, with it behind me, next will come the minerals and the room will begin to shine!

There are only a few other dealers here that I've seen and a few buyers as well. Ol' Howard down the way made his first sell today and he was all smiles.

The weather here was awesome today, sunny and in the 70's. Well, that's about it for now. The bagpipes are switching back and forth between them and a group of fluters and violinists. It'll be a grand festive time here this evening. More soon. Have a terrific weekend. All the very best,

John
