Tempe now has me motivated--I am going to make it a point on trips where I have some time to check two 50-lb boxes of rocks. Inside. At the ticket counter. I have always wanted my rock collection to be shown during my travels, but never had the motivation. I believe someone at LCC HQ has now pushed the button to get me to get off my lazy butt and start bringing the rocks.

Two 50 or 70 pounders domestically, three internationally.

I urge as many people as possible to begin to bring their rocks along for the ride, such that perhaps Tempe will get the message that it's, perhaps, punitive to nickel and dime people like this.

"Rock" on.
