Hi Jim,

No wonder, my girlfriend would do the same...

Only this group will understand and suffer with this news...

Our observatory has recently had three Russian hydrogen masers arrive 
(along
with some Russians to install them).

It turns out that one of the masers had a rough trip from Russia to
Australia.

It looks like the entire shipping case has been dropped or turned over 
from
a reasonable height. The 7mm thick internal glass cylinder has been
shattered and inside that the glass bulb has been smashed to bits.

The whole unit is completely destroyed and useless.

It's enough to make a grown man cry.

My girlfriend just doesn't understand...
