52. I Was A Jeweler When A Younger Fellow, Sir

A good many copper ores are quite attractive semi-precious stones so the trade led me into a number of mineral emporiums. One of my favorites was garnet in matrix, and another was Australian opals in matrix. These were often of low quality, viewed as opals, but being so clear they were like a window into a rock, and I found them fascinating.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
