A number of years ago, I bought some rocks from Uncle Irwin (not my Uncle) who was an avid rockhound.
Well, actually, I bought them from Antie Dah-riss, but they were Irwin’s. She was just getting rid of them. I asked her not to cash my check right away, but she did anyway, making the rocks twice as expensive for me.
We have found that the rocks should be “next” in our series of auctions so we are going to do them next.
