Sorry to see that. I know we are always joking about globes getting broke but UPS broke most of mine. I had a cat break one set and i personally broke one set and let me tell you it's a bad feeling to break one. I couldn't imagine how your feeling... again sorry to see that. Let us know what happened.

Sorry to hear of your globe loss. After much prodding from other posters, no comment on how it happened?

Let me venture a guess...your other half got ****** and took it out on the globes??

Good luck with the insurance.

Michigan, so I am guessing the chance it was an earthquake is not high.

I know a guy in the Tulsa area that once got drunk did some sleep walking and went into a spare bedroom with lenses spread all throughout the floor. He walked on several, took a pee, woke up, then had to have stitches on the soles of his feet and couldn't work for a few weeks.

Is that a PIECE of a crash landed, wooden airplane on the floor? Maybe the NTSB needs to be involved to study it....

nothing to do with the airplane either, that was also a casualty in the whole thing as well. no fighting, no airplane airborn, no shoe, just a simple freak of nature...

knocked over my tokhiem 850 and the globe went airborne in slow motion and exploded upon the carpet in thousands of piecies.i leaned my ladder against the pump to climb up a few rungs to hang a sign and over she went.i've done this many times with pumps that were heavier but 850's are light when gutted.
