Dear Pete;-
   One of my favorite posessions is an Ordivician trilobite. It's extinct. But just maybe---someone will discover living trilobites. Dinosaurs are extinct. They were too big to hide somewhere.
   So extinct is:---they aint been seen around these parts fer a coons age.
    You just have to leave a tiny little gap for---"maybe".
