Stare into the pools. The deep blue pools. Relax. You are very calm. Look into the deep blue pools. Stephanie's address is .....

Hello, Ladybugz. Thank you for your input.

I'll move this over to the main forum to maybe get more people thinking on whose those signatures might be.

Did you notice they were in prison? There are two crime puns in the picture.

Let us know when you're ready for a hint ....

What do they photograph with that? The moons of Jupiter?

LOL ... it was too technical to me. I still have a landline.

I don't know how it compares to others but it is quite lovely.

Ron, over here are a couple of pics of the marbles which got me wondering about this: Thanks.

A couple of people (Letitia and Tim B.) posted these pics on facebook and I loved the simlarity yet difference. West Virginia swirls versus Jabos. The swirls ribbons happen to fluoresce. Don't yet know if that is significant. So this hopefully shows how it's at least a little bit easier to identify the opaque glass as a "ribbon" and the transparent glass as the "base" in the WV swirl, while in the Jabo it's harder to pick out which glass would be the ribbon and which glass would be the base.

Very most awesome. What does Felix think of his new housemate?

What Brad said. I wouldn't have known the stone's name, but I think he nailed it.

LOLOL Between the names and the commentary and stray thoughts about the physics of the course and the physics of the marbles .... that was fantastic. You and your new associate are a winning combination. I don't want to give any spoilers ... but at the end of the race I thought "Everyone will want to know what kind of marble that one was ... he's fast!" .... Also had a stray thought about the stud fees you could get for him.

Good job. You worked hard for those.

I've added that to my list. Not in the mood to watch a new series right now. But it's on the list. (I have a .txt file called "Lists" for goodies like this.)

Beautiful birds! .... and the marbles aren't bad either .....

It's a freakin asteroid!

Another sweet one from Abigail Castagnaro Corgi in a bottle

George gives 1948 to 1957 as estimates for that box style (without the cellophane and cutout). Also the bag is likely to be from the 1950s.

Checked with George. He pointed out that it's the same box as in Marble Mania, p. 108. The only one he's seen like that. He's been pondering this one off and on for a long time.

It's a handsome marble. If it doesn't already have a name it should be named after some exotic wood. We can keep bumping this until Ric shows up.
