"All this he saw, for one moment breathless and intense, vivid on the morning sky; and still, as he looked, he lived; and still, as he lived, he wondered."

Scusate se faccio il verso ai titoli dei post di questo signore, ma la notizia mi faceva troppo ridere.

Dal Corriere di oggi:

Trovato l’oro nelle valli bergamasche
– Gli esiti delle ricerche spiegati dalla Rivista mineralogica italiana
Il geologo Renato Marsetti ha recuperato scagliette nelle acque dell’alta Valle Seriana e piccole pepite incastonate nelle rocce
BERGAMO – Non ci sono le premesse perché nelle Prealpi Orobie si scatene la corsa all’oro, ma dopo secoli di voci incontrollate adesso la notizia è stata diffusa in modo ufficiale dal geologo Renato Marsetti di Ecogeo, centro di ricerche geologiche e tecnologie d’ambiente di Bergamo: nei monti bergamaschi ci sono tracce del metallo giallo. Marsetti lo ha anche scritto in un articolo per l’ultimo numero della Rivista mineralogica italiana, basato su trent’anni di studi e analisi nelle zone della Valle del Goglio.
Nel corso degli anni Marsetti ha trovato campioni di oro sia nelle rocce sia nel torrente Goglio, confermando scritti e notizie risalenti al Duecento. Il geologo ha trovato pepite e scagliette d’oro nelle acque dell’alta Valle Seriana e piccole pepite incastonate nelle rocce, generalmente unito al quarzo, e visibili anche a occhio nudo.

Che dire?

Isaac Asimov’s “Fantasy” collection

I take issue with this volume, and not because they’re short stories and you’re bound to like some more than the others: they’re all delightful, with very few and negligible exceptions. No, my problem is curatorial: I take issue that instead of grouping all the

    Sì, pensavo di andare al Decathlon a prendere piccone e setaccio e farci un salto settimana prossima…

    PS: per Brian, dici che si può parlare di bergamaschietti e bergafemminucce?
