I had been avoiding touching my chest since the skin is very sensitive. But the other night, as I was struggling to get comfortable in bed, my hand happened to fall squarely on my chest where my breast had been. The image that immediately came to mind was the Arizona Meteor Crater.
And now a reminiscence:
Now, this didn't really come totally out of the blue. When we were in Germany, we had gotten a National Geographic film out of the library about Comet Shoemaker-Levy-9. Eugene Shoemaker took his family to Nördlingen Germany to look at the local rocks to see if the area was a meteor rather than volcanic crater. By studying the stones of the church, which contained Suevite and Coesite, he proved his point. We watched it this film many times, and it prompted us to visit the Ries Crater and museum at Nördlingen Germany. I climbed the Daniel, built with rocks containing suevite while pregnant with Noelle. The night watchmen in Nördlingen, still call out the all clear "So G'sell So" (skip to the end of the film) at 10 o'clock each night from the post at the top of the Daniel.
