Yesterday I spent took a break from book writing to spend time in the attic sorting RVing clothes (for the upcoming dirt in Quarztsite Rock and Mineral shows) from a little-more-cleaned-up outfits for the Tucson Gem Shows in February. I was pulling some photo images for use in my blog, and finding individual unique looking specimens of rough Yowah and Koroit opal for my books. I am constantly reorganizing what I haul in my car from place to place on the rock and gem track. I have stashes here and there at places I regularly stop at so that there is always something I can do, book to write, talk to give, seminar to teach or a chunk of rock to polish. Jars get broken, plastic containers get skuzzy,  and boxes split and have to be redone.  So stack em and pack em was the name of the day.
