No, from a philosopher, likely Bishop Berkeley or some one like him or someone who likes him...

Cubic Zircon refracts light better, I'm told.

Herkimer Diamonds are actually quartz but I like my Swarovski crystal earrings. Shiny.

I see a chunk of Quartz and I am very tempted to a slicer and make a crystal for my radio stuff. My Chiropodist has a large block of rock sliced in two and featuring a lot of little crystal growths.
They are difficult to phtotgraph.

What kind of radio stuff? I'm writing about a guy whose hobby is ham radio.

Flashback to the 1970's when "Smokey and the Bandit" and the movie that went with this song helped make CB radios wildly popular.

Oh, I so miss having a CB radio in my car! So much fun listening to the truckers.

Did you ever hear Large Marge on the CB? Also: I admit to chuckling after Pee Wee says "I get off right up here." Mmmhmm. It was like he saw the future.

I mostly managed to avoid Pee Wee Herman. That was weird.

I have also avoided Barney the Purple Dinosaur and several others. Oh, Caillou, whiniest little bastard on TV. Couldn't avoid that one.

"Mommy, Caillou! Caillou!"

"Yes, honey."

I don't think I have ever said "shut up" to my child. Nor quoted that delightful book "Go the fuck to sleep." As read by Samuel L. Jackson.

Nothing To Do
by Shel Silverstein

Nothing to do?
Nothing to do?
Put some mustard in your shoe,
Fill your pockets full of soot,
Drive a nail into your foot,
Put some sugar in your hair,
Place your toys upon the stair,
Smear some jelly on the latch,
Eat some mud and strike a match,
Draw a picture on the wall,
Roll some marbles down the hall,
Pour some ink in daddy's cap --
Now go upstairs and take a nap.

A cat, a rat, an elephant too,
Decided one day to visit the zoo.
But the man at the gate (who was all dressed in blue)
Said: ‘No, no, no, this never will do.
Zoos are for people with shoes and with hats.
They’re certainly not intended for rats.’
So the elephant (who was the eldest) said:
‘OK, we’ll go to the theatre instead.’

I will not eat them from a plate.
I will not eat them while I skate.
I will not eat them with a friend.
I will not eat them to the bitter end.

I will not eat them in a house.
I will not eat them with a mouse.
I will not eat them, Sam I am.
I do not like green eggs and ham.
