We're in the four corners area at the moment and the other day I was sitting outside at our campsite, on the phone, and my eye spied something interesting in the gravel. What I saw was the ribbed pattern. At first I thought it must be the core from some core drilling, or some coral, but when I picked up it looked like a worm. Now I'm wondering if it is something else that I can't mention. :blush: LOL Thinking it was a worm, I looked all around for the other half but had no luck before we moved on to our next campsite.

Here are pics. Now I see that I didn't get a pic of the underside. If you need one let me know.

How long are you in the Four Corners? We are there for two shows around 4th of July.

Hi Jo

I went to the library today and look what the librarian had for me !

She asked what it was? Well I told her it was petrified gnocchi!
Well she didn’t know what gnocchi was.
Now this is where it gets really gets interesting!

I just happen to be checking out an Italian cook book
So I showed her! Ha Ha
I told her that with my friend’s pet gnocchi
we have enough for romantic Italian dinner

mostly

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
