Rock Collection Revisited
Dear Family and Friends,
Welcome to this week's "Thoughtlet."
These words are my personal diary and a weekly review of ideas,
beliefs, thoughts, or words that will hopefully be of some
benefit to you: my children, my family, and my friends.
"Sunday morning in Primary Sharing Time they were having an introduction of the favorite things of Evi Davis. One of the first things she pulled out was a rock, and she told Sister Harlan that she collected rocks. Sister Harlan asked if anyone else collects rocks. Of course I put my had up. Sister Harlan said to Evi, "I'll bet Brother Nelson would like to see this rock." Evi looked up at her and said, "Brother Nelson gave me this rock." It was a priceless moment for me seeing Sister Harlan's face. Well, when we got to Primary Class, Rachel Sarls said she did not know where I lived. I told her that her Mom knows. I assumed she wanted a rock. Jumping ahead, when we got home late Sunday evening, there was a message on the answering machine from Sister Harlan, saying that Grace wanted to know when she could come over to my house and pick up the rock I promised her. It was about 9:00 PM when I called back, and of course it was too late to come over that night. We made an appointment for Grace to come over after her soccer practice at about 6:30 PM on Monday evening to get her rock, which I'll talk more about below.
I find it interesting how something that is normally in the background comes up several times in one week. This is why I decided to call this week's Thoughtlet, Rock Collection Revisited, after all I already have a Thoughtlet named "Rock Collection" (see ../0525.html), and the last time my rock collection really came to the forefront was when the Young Women came over for a Dutch Oven dinner and to see my rocks (../0636.html).
Anyway, going back to Sunday morning, the 29th of April, we had an extremely good sacrament meeting. I wrote two possible stanzas for Prime Words, the first from a talk by Emily Davis, Evi's Mom, and the second from a talk by Colin Steward, who quoted President Hinkley's words at the dedication of the Houston Temple in September of 2000:
<![CDATA["The dead are not forgotten
At the temple the veil is thin
I know Grandmother will accept
The Gospel, along with other kin"
"This structure becomes a bridge
Between this life and immortality
Fulfillment of Don Hand's promise
To return to the Lord with quality"]]>
Don Hand is the real estate owner who owned the property where the Houston Temple is now located. To quote from "Gift of Love - The Houston Texas Temple" by Wendy O. Nielsen and Miken O. Johnson, pages 22 and 24:
<![CDATA["On Sunday, June 29 (1997), President Hinkley made his decision: the tranquil Champion Forest property
was to be the temple site. Ted Simmons called Steve Cook on Monday morning and reported President
Hinkley's decision. Brother Cook was understandably curious as to how he would manage to procure a
property that its owner had no intention of selling.
About 15 minutes after Brother Simmons' phone call, Brother Cook's telephone rang again. This call
was from Don Hand. Mr. Hand invited Brother Cook to meet him at his office as soon as possible.
At their meeting, Don told Steve that he had experienced a "terribel weekend." He had wrestled with the
decision of whether or not to sell the property to the Church and was unable to sleep - pacing, pondering,
and counseling with his wife. At last Don and Judy had concluded that they should sell the land to the
Church for the "Mormon cathedral."
Mr. Hand explained how he had arrived at his decision. He told Steve about a time in 1980's when the
bottom fell out of Houston real estate and the Hands nearly lost everything. Heavily in debt, with no
solution in sight, Don had knelt in prayer and humbly asked for the Lord's help. He promised the Lord
that if He blessed him, he would make it right with the Lord someday. From that time on, Don had
watched in amazement as his situation miraculously improved and his business recovered. To keep his
promise to the Lord, he had given a large anonymous donation to his own church but had never felt it was
quite enough. Now Don and Judy felt it was right to allow The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
to build their temple on the Champion Forest land. Don believed that this project would indeed be the
"crown jewel" of his real estate development. At last he could make thing right with the Lord.
Brother Cook later said, "My meeting with Don Hand was almost like a testimony meeting as he
expressed his love for the Lord and his desire to become 'one with the lord.' The same spirit that inspired
President Hinkley had inspired Mr. Hand, and on exactly the same weekend."]]>
The story goes on and on, and if you haven't had a chance to read it, I encourage you to do so next time you visit us. I distinctly remember the Hafen Reunion Roice drove up from California to go to with me in Pinto (../9836.html), where Aunt Lily May Snow bore her testimony to me about the Church News article about the site selection of the Houston Temple. My Grandpa Hafen was the 2nd child, oldest son, of 13. Aunt Lily May was the 10th child. She basically repeated what I have written above, and then told me how the spirit had borne witness to her that this truly was inspired of the Lord.
I guess I was so impressed by the sacrament meeting because I was touched by Sister Davis' talk, which described her conversion, her learning about Christianity from a Taiwan non-Christian background, about her first trip to the temple, and about the important role the spirit can play in our lives. It was very touching. Primary was also very touching, and in the exact opposite manner. The kids have been bouncing off of the walls ever since Easter Sunday and the morning they all came having eaten a lot of chocolate. They were rambunctious again. At least Thor Larsen was in the classroom to help me keep them under control.
Right after church we changed clothes and drove over to Vidor to celebrate Colby's birthday. It was a quiet drive over. There was a message came up on my cell phone as we approached town telling us to come to Jackie and Glenda Wright's house. As we drove up Colby came running out of the house and gave me the biggest hug. It was nice. We ate. I ate too much. Amazing how I've put on 5 pounds since getting the letter from Jan Miller. Oh well! I took some digital photos and movies of Colby's birthday party (http://www.walden3d.com/photos/Family/05_JaredMelanie/01_ColbyCade/070429_Colbys_5th). Colby and Taylor were extremely involved in coloring on black magic paper that rubbed off and left a rainbow of colors under a stencil. Glenda wanted to know the prettiest place I've ever visited, and I told her Cedar City. After some discussion, she told me that this was not from a geological perspective. Jackie was interested in hearing stories about some of my trips. I told him about my trip to Mauritania, and then driving down the west coast of Africa in a cab (../0336.html), and about my first trip to Dehra Dunn (0701.html). The relatives from next door left, and I felt like I drove them off with my stories. Oh well! Colby had a melt down because "everyone laughed at me," and Melanie had to go get him some clean pants. Melanie spoke in Sacrament Meeting that morning, and Jackie pointed out I didn't come to the talk. Didn't know about it. It was good to see the kids, and it seemed like the trip was very quick. We arrived about 1:30 and left about 3:45 so we could get back for choir practice and for a Stake Fireside by the new Houston Temple President, Elder Bradford.
I went to choir, but Andrea didn't because she had a sore throat and had lost her voice. The fireside was excellent. Elder Bradford used the 20th Section of the Doctrine & Covenants as the theme for his talk about the temple as a higher school of learning. I won't write out my notes at this time. However, I just realized I did not mention Andrea and I went to the temple last Wednesday. Elder Bradford took me through the veil, and it was a special experience. Turns out Reynolds Cahoon was in the same session we were in, and we talked to him for quite a while in the Celestial Room and as we walked out to our car. His daughter Coleen has broken off her engagement, and he continues to grieve over Michael's death (0710.html). It is wonderful how much strength the church provides us with something as serious as the loss of a child. And it is still very, very, very, very, very hard. Between the trip to Vidor, choir practice, the fireside, and getting the Relief Society Room ready for Andrea's seminary class, it was 9:00 by the time I was back home and returned Sister Harlan's call, referenced above. There was also a message from Audrey, and I had a nice conversation with both her and Joshua when I returned the call. Turns out she had met a petroleum geologist who is working Southern Utah at a birthday party, and called me to tell me about him. And we weren't home.
Monday, Mike Pinnell at a Dynamic Resources sized oil company, Pioneer Oil & Gas, called me. He was the geologist Audrey met. It was an interesting phone call. He has spent the last 15 years working the Utah overthrust trend, that includes the Covenant Field near Richfield. He and his partners purchased over a million acres of mineral rights, and recently turned half of them to another company cleaning up all of their debt. He is 62, and his co-author on several papers he has written about the trend is 80. He is just going to work for another oil company, and they are going to be looking for a geophysicist to work with them out of Salt Lake City. They are planning some large 3-D seismic surveys, and I turned the contact information over to the acquisition marketing folks at Geokinetics. Their partners include Herbert Hunt (../0205.html), and Pioneer Natural Resources, which has just sold of their offshore holdings and have a lot of money to invest in the Rocky Mountains. Thanks for setting up this telephone call Audrey. On the way home I went by the FedEx Kinko's on Mason Road and talked to Billy Proctor, the center manager about being the distribution channel for "An Open Mind." He was not very excited about the idea. It had been tried in Utah, and did not work. There were issues with copyright © on material, and they are in the process of building a process. So I gave him one of the copies of the books I had put together on Saturday and asked for pricing to distribute it. He asked me to come back Tuesday evening.
Tuesday I went to a meeting at dGB with Fred Hilterman and the new leader of the Interpretation Group, Alvaro Chaveste. The meeting was with Efrain Hernandez of Pemex. He confirmed what I wrote to Dave last year about about about 50% decline in Cantrell (../0644.html and 0706.html). They intend to make up the difference in the Chicontepec Area, and there is no way this will happen. Lee Bell tells me this is a giant social program, that does not do exploration correctly, and is very hard to produce from. The meeting was about the dGB sequence stratigraphy software. I'm impressed with how well they have incorporated what the industry calls Wheeler Diagrams or what I have called geochronostratigraphic reconstructions. It was a good meeting, and it is nice to be involved in something which seems to have a little bit of future and has the potential of someone actually caring about it (unlike my PSDM [Pre-Stack Depth Migration] project). On the way back Alvaro suggested we go by Ninfa's on Post Oak Boulevard for the goodbye luncheon for Sonia Venegas. Everyone had pretty much finished by the time we arrived. There were three meals which had not been picked up, and so we picked them up and sat down and ate. I enjoy the beef fajitas. When I got back to the office, Roice had made his move in our latest chess game. Checkmate! 3 out of 3. Guess that shows who has brains in our family. The messages were pretty criptic for this game:
<![CDATA["1 Black 3 for 3. Pretty good. Did you delete the messages from the last game?
2 White nope, I just checked by going to "My Games", selecting that game, then selecting "Message Log",
and it looked like it was all still there. Sister Sara and I went riding earlier today, her on Sarah's bike and
me on my uni. We did 15 miles or so and had a lot of fun. Now she's back to studying for her GMAT,
and I'm just taking a break from house cleaning.
2 Black Thanks. I looked all over and could not find the message log. I included the last one in a
Thoughtlet, and was thinking about doing the same with this one, hoping to get someone else to play
chess with me. Glad to hear you and Sara Ellyn enjoy each other. Also that you are helping clean the
house, which I've never been very good at.
3 White I'll send our message log over email in just a moment...
3 Black I made this move several days ago, and said I had found and downloaded the messages. Sorry I
did not realize until this morning my move did not take.
4 White weird, the same thing just happened to me. it didn't take my last move either :(
4 Black The computer is probably reacting to one person beating all of the games.
5 White I finally met my weight goal this week (190) :)
5 Black Congratulations! I'm down to 125 from 165. Only 35 pounds more to go. Maybe I need to take
up unicycling? On Guard!
6 White It has definitely been a big part of making my goal, and so much fun. I rode 65 miles this
past week!
6 Black At 1 mile per hour, and assuming you worked 40 hours last week, that means these two activities
took up 105 of 168 total available hours. No way I could do that. I like my sleep too much.
7 White actually, it's more like 10 mph, so 6.5 hours or so of total riding.
7 Black That seems pretty fast. And I still think I'm too old to learn how to ride a unicycle.
10 White you were trying to get me the same way I was attacking you! :)
10 Black Must have learned the approach from you."]]>
Tuesday evening I went by FedEx Kinko's on the way home. Prices are way high when every page is in color. It cost 79¢ /page and 7¢/page black and white for a 1,000 page order (four books with as far as I am through), 59¢ for a 5,000 page order (20 book order), and the best it gets is 19¢ and 2.4¢ black and white for a 100,000 page order (2,000 book order). I spent the next couple of evenings putting together price sheets, so I could put put several things on-line (http://www.walden3d.com/orders.html). I'm still debating about what to do next. There is no way in the world anyone will pay $400.00 for 1 1/2 chapters of a draft book. Roice Krueger responded to my e-mail last week (0717.html), and suggested I send him an e-mail with specific content which he could forward on to his friend. I got this off to him Saturday morning, and I'll wait to go on-line until I've at least heard back from him. Friday evening meeting with Larry Capehart of Chase Bank, Michelle Schmidt's co-worker, and talked to him about Chase providing services to take credit card purchases. He will contact someone, who will get back with me. Another reason to think about it for a few days before going live.
Earlier Friday afternoon George Schutlz came into my office and wanted to look at some videos on-line, which he could not review on his system. The site is at http://www.evangelicalsformitt.com, and it is quite interesting. The videos were from Thursday night's debate, which I did not even know was happening, and from an appearance on Jay Leno on Wednesday, which again I did not know happened. Oh well! There was one article I thought particularly good, which I copied for this record:
<![CDATA["MORMONS: AN APPRECIATION
I know that I'm going to get in trouble in some quarters for the following statement, but I'm going to say
it anyway. I love Mormons, and I deeply appreciate the role played by the LDS church in our nation and
our culture. I have returned from a lengthy absence from EFM (I was out of town working hard on my
day job) to find a debate in these pages about whether Mormonism is a "cult," flipped on the TV to see a
two part special about Mormonism on PBS, and turned on my computer today to see this absurd column
by Robert Novak demanding that Mitt Romney account for a massacre that occurred 150 years ago.
Given these times, I thought I'd take a moment to write a post that is perhaps a bit outside the EFM
(i.e. political) umbrella and share with you my own perspective on Mormonism.
We live in tough times. Faith is under attack -- from within and without. I know there are some folks
out there who deride such comments, but I ask those people who do to walk not a mile but a few feet in
my shoes. In moments, you would hear from people of faith from across this country who are silenced,
intimidated, and sometimes subjected to vile threats and abuse merely for standing for Biblical values
and fundamental rights. Yes, Christians have political power in some quarters, but in others -- such as
the academy, the mainstream media, and in popular entertainment -- we are relentlessly demonized.
And this demonization has consequences. When "family values" are derided, families tend to falter.
When families falter, poverty and violence follow like night follows day. When unborn children are
viewed as a "clump of cells" that exists at the convenience of the mother rather than as a living person,
they can be dismembered and slaughtered on a scale that staggers the imagination. When everything is
relative and our culture is viewed as no better than any other, we lose the will to fight evil, and we
abandon our friends abroad.
In the midst of this culture, our churches often look at millions of fractured families, millions of lost
children, and waning resolve in the face of undeniable evil and say: "It's our fault, really. If only we
were more accepting of family arrangements that lead to poverty. If only we were less 'obsessed' with
murderous medical 'procedures,' and more 'understanding' of the people who seek to behead us, then
perhaps we'd have influence in this culture." And so we watch as denomination after denomination
turns its back on morality and righteousness, denounces the most generous group of people in the
United States (faithful churchgoers) as "uncaring" and seeks to emulate a secular-progressive society
that talks about poverty but keeps its money, that talks about compassion but acts outraged when the
legislature bans the practice of killing a half-delivered child with scissors, and that talks about ending
genocide but says we need to "understand" world rulers who openly advocate the destruction of an
entire nation (Israel). So we watch as the mainstream denominations (and even some evangelicals)
slide into a meaningless and empty social religion that is utterly powerless to sustain the soul or to
confront evil.
But not Mormons. The LDS church still stands proudly for the family, for human life, and with the
moral resolve necessary to confront the challenges of our time. They give generously, serve
enthusiastically, and stand shoulder to shoulder with evangelicals on the great moral and cultural issues
of our time. In my own life, every single Mormon that I have come to know has been kind, generous,
and utterly devoted to their family. Even more, they have stood with me and befriended me (whether
it was in a hostile and intimidating law school environment or in the midst of the exhausting challenge
of basic training) during key moments in my own life. I know that people are fallen -- broken by sin
and in desperate need of God's grace -- so I don't have an overly-rosy view of human nature or of any
particular group of people (I'm a Calvinist, for crying out loud). But I do deeply appreciate the genuine
strengths and accomplishments of the LDS church.
On Tuesday night, a good friend (and EFM reader) asked my thoughts on the Frank Pastore column
Nancy linked below. She asked me, "Is Mormonism a denomination, a religion, or a cult?" I think
this question is ultimately unhelpful. Rather than decide on categories, I think we should simply try
to understand the faith itself. Mormonism is not creedal, orthodox Christianity; that much I know.
I don't think Mormons want to be known as "creedal Christians." As for what Mormonism is, I leave
that definition members of the LDS church. They define their own beliefs and identity better than I
ever could.
As for me, I'm proud to stand with Mormons as we confront the cultural rot that is destroying our
country from within, and I'm proud to serve with Mormons as fellow soldiers facing a hideous evil
overseas. I appreciate them more than they could know. I'm grateful for their presence in my life and
in the life of this nation. So, I leave the question of "cult, denomination, or religion" to the Judge of
all things. I'm content with a fourth category -- one not on that list -- the category of "friends."

Later in the afternoon, after getting copies of the PetroChina news release from three different folks, I started doing some searching on the Internet regarding the giant new discovery in Ji Dong Oilfield.
The following article is a reasonable summary of the discovery: http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=anZpX_gzjf94&refer=home:
<![CDATA["PetroChina Shares Jump After Bohai Bay Oil Discovery (Update7)
By Michele Batchelor
May 4 (Bloomberg) -- Shares of PetroChina Co., the nation's top oil producer, surged after the
company announced China's biggest discovery in half a century.
The stock climbed 14 percent, pushing the market value to HK$1.82 trillion ($233 billion) and
overtaking OAO Gazprom and BP Plc to become the world's No. 3 oil company after Exxon Mobil
Corp. and Royal Dutch Shell Plc. The deposit in Bohai Bay has about 7.5 billion barrels of oil
equivalent, according to Beijing-based PetroChina's statement yesterday.
China has stepped up oil exploration to meet increased demand in the world's fastest-growing major
economy and reduce reliance on imports. PetroChina, Asia's most valuable company, expects to
outspend Exxon and Shell this year as it drills deeper and further offshore to make up for declining
output at Daqing, China's biggest and oldest field.
``The potential net asset value boost from the Jidong discovery is too big to ignore,'' said Gordon Kwan,
research director of China oil and gas at CLSA Ltd. in Hong Kong. Subject to ``stringent U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission reserves classification, the discovery size could exceed sibling rival Cnooc's
entire reserve base.'' Kwan advised clients to buy the stock ``aggressively.''
The stock rose HK$1.24 to HK$10.16 in Hong Kong, the largest gain since the company's initial
public offering in 2000 and the highest close since Jan. 9. About 1 billion shares were traded, the largest
volume since Jan. 13, 2004, and more than the daily average of 129 million shares in the past six months."]]>
Then there was this article at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/6623179.stm:
<![CDATA["China claims major oil field find
China's biggest oil firm, PetroChina, says it has made the country's largest crude discovery in a decade.
PetroChina said the find off China's north eastern coast had proven reserves of almost three billion barrels.
Western analysts said that while the field, called Jidong Nanpu, would probably produce less than a
quarter of that amount, it was still a major find.
China, the world's second-biggest oil consumer, has been seeing supplies slow at its existing domestic
wells.
'Major asset'
Energy consultant Andrew Hayman of IHS said that under Western standards, Jidong Nanpu would
probably have nearer to 650 million barrels of commercially recoverable reserves.
"This field obviously will be a major asset to the Chinese economy given its proximity to domestic
markets," he said.
"And since it is located in [just] three metres of water the costs of development and exploitation will
be relatively cheap."
PetroChina is 90% owned by the state-run China National Petroleum Corporation."]]>
Dave had heard about the discovery earlier, and I had sent Jialin to Ji Dong Oilfield to see if the discovery had anything to do with all of the interpretation work I did for them. This was the e-mail Jialin sent to us about this trip on March 22nd:
<![CDATA["Dave, and Roice,
Right before Feb. 17, Jidong completed B16 well, which targeted Prospect A. The well took about
15 days. Unfortunately, the well did hit sands, but no oil, nor gas.
The well Mr. Jiang mentioned in HK was newly completed actually, its surface location is NanPu 1-1,
within the payzone, the horizontal displacement is close to 600m to the southwest(on the corrected map).
The well is a part of pioneer developing project. The pay is Ng right beneath volcanics.
Because Nanpu No.1 Structure is the most sensitive area of PetroChina, Mr. Ma, who I met with today
is vice president of E&P Instituion of Jidong, could not release any data to us, he just showed me two
slides on his computer.
When I asked about our project, he said: Jidong's focus is on major pays beneath volcanics, but our
project did not have significant help on that; regarding the drilled shallow prospect, Mr. Ma said: there
were many possible reasons to generate AVO anomalies, your petrophysicists might work closer with
our people, that might help understand the field and characteristics the pays better.
Right now they are quite interested at Pre-Stack reversion technologies, and hope to use it to get a
better define of the acreage of the pays.
Mr. Ma said that deep G prospect was not drilled yet, it was not on their top priority.
Regarding their honest opinion as what they disappointed: Jidong is focusing on their major thick
payzones right beneath the volcanics, but in our project, those thick pays did not show significant
relationship with AVO anomaly.
Best regards,
Jialin"]]>
It will be interesting to see how it turns out and whether my work had anything to do with this discovery or not. If it did, it's even better than a rock collection revisited. If it didn't, Oh Well!
Saturday morning I finished up my letter to Roice Krueger, and then went outside and worked in the yard until about 2:20 PM. I trimmed the spheres and other hedges in the back yard. It seems like all of leaves dropped in my rock collection. It took forever to pull all of the leaves out of there. Truly this was a rock collection revisited. After getting cleaned up I worked on catching up Thoughtlets. There was a pool table discussion with Phillip Miller. We offered to sell it for $2,500 based on a quick web search which showed we probably payed between $4,000 and $5,000 for it originally. It was too much for Phillip and Lorna. Oh well! Karen Loftin (0709.html) was volunteering at the Equestrian Center with some fancy horse riding judging, and she stayed with us Saturday night. She took Andrea and I out to 'Babins,' for a nice dinner. It was nice to get to know her and to spend time with her. I think she will come back and stay with us again next time, which is good.
Sunday was an outstanding and excellent testimony meeting. It was mostly in response to the PBS Special on the church on Monday and Tuesday evenings, which stressed things like Mountain Meadows Massacre, blacks and the priesthood, excommunication of liberal scholars, and other negative themes. It was obvious it got several folks to think about the basis of their faith, which is good. Anyone who chooses to exercise their faith has to go through each of these concepts and get a spiritual witness the church is true despite some of the mistakes that have been made. In Primary Sharing Time I talked with Sister Siebert about getting her software in exchange for working up music for some of my songs. I loaned her copies of the two tapes I made with Alan Peterson several years ago, so she has a feel for what I'm thinking about. It will be interesting to see where this goes. My primary lesson was on Lehi and his family leaving Jerusalem. I took the deer hide from the deer I killed as a youth, my spherical crystal, the brass bracelet from Nigeria, and other things that represented stuff Lehi and his family would have had to decide whether to take with him or not. I think the kids liked it, although they are still acting pretty wild. In the afternoon Tim Gebauer and Andrew Salt came by and Home Taught us. They met Karen Loftin as she was getting ready to leave. I sang "The Wooden Shoe" to Karen before she left. I think she liked the song. We went to choir practice and set up Andrea's room. We called Joshua and sang happy birthday to him. Audrey is anxious for the baby to come, and had spent the morning in the hospital with contractions, so next week's Thoughtlet will be about Bobbi Sophia Waldron (0719.html). I spent the rest of the evening finishing up thoughts about Autism (0717.html), and starting to write about my rock collection revisited."
Since the 38th week of 1996 I have written a weekly "Thoughtlet"
(little statements of big thoughts which mean a lot to me).
Until the 43rd week of 2004 I sent these out as an e-mail. They
were intended to be big thoughts which mean a lot to me.
Over time the process evolved into a personal diary. These notes
were shared with my family because I know how important the
written word can be. Concerned about how easy it is to drift and
forget our roots and our potential among all of distractions of
daily life, I thought this was a good way to reach those I love.
It no longer feels right to send out an e-mail and "force" my kids
and my family to be aware of my life and struggles.
Everyone has their own life to lead, and their own struggles to
work through. I will continue this effort, and will continue to
make my notes publicly accessible (unless I learn of
misuse by someone who finds out about them, and then will
aggressively
pursue a legal remedy to copyright infringement and I will put the Thoughtlets
behind a password).
The index to download any of these Thoughtlets is at
http://www.walden3d.com/thoughtlets,
or you can e-mail me with
questions or requests at

(note if you are not on my e-mail "whitelist" you must send 2 e-mails
within 24 hours of each other in order for your e-mail to not be trashed).
