Other collecting activities?

behavior of their own? Ah, the kicker too . . . have their ever been a Over the past few years I have been collecting fossils on and off, mainly sharks teeth. I also collect fossilized tree sap (particularly with ancient bugs in it, I have amassed quite a collection) Recently, I have started another hobby, telescope design and construction. This is an amazingly rewarding hobby, with an online community which rivals the vintage computer ones we all know and love. I am trying not to become a 'collector' or telescopes in general, I am just trying to build ones of high quality (and hopefully one day open a 'custom telescope' shop for hobbiest types who want the best available) (getting paid to do something you'd do anyway is always a big plus. ;)) -------- Thanks, Torquil MacCorkle, III Lexington, Virginia
