Meteorites are not ‘flaming rocks of doom,' NASA says
The “bright fireball” was traveling at 35,000 mph when it exploded at 8:03 a.m. with the “energy equivalent of 3 tons of TNT,” according to NASA Meteor Watch, the agency's project that tracks fireball activity.
“Existing law states that any meteorites belong to the owner of the property on which they fell; out of respect for the privacy of those in the area, we will not disclose the locations of these finds,”
And finding anything of value is likely harder than you think.
“The pieces from this object were way too small to leave a crater. Unlike what you see in the movies, meteorites are not ‘flaming rocks of doom’ that blast holes in the ground. In fact, you can pick one up right after it hits ground. So no smoking rocks in small craters.”

Good morning. Happy Humph Day!
Nothing really to report this morning. Just lots of work.
I could have had another 3 today, but I decided to consider other possibilities first.

Well - er - um -
Look. Squirrel!
Good morning. It’s Wednesday here.
Interestingly they have been predicting triple digits (from a few days out) since last Saturday... each day it gets pushed out further by a day or so...
At the moment, they are now predicting 101° for Friday, 104° for Saturday, and 106° for Sunday. It will be interesting to see if they pan out...
Of course, it has been hot (upper 90s) and very humid... the past week or so... just never touching those triple digits here..... yet...
Good Morning!
Nothing much to report here either, other than a lot of watering needs to be done...
Of course, it is a four spot:

So you found a good recipe? Or just adapting what you have on hand?
I just saved another 25 photos of the London Escapades with Edd China. My FS must be having the time of his life!
Yes, we found a recipe online. It will go in the crockpot.
Yummy! Crock potted chicken is awesome with the right seasonings.
*tagline*
National just sent me the summer dress ad. I have to remember that I’m going to be at camp staff a good part of the summer, and I don’t need new dresses!
Great shirt!
The late Igor worked in aerospace, helping to get the now disintegrated Skylab into orbit and also worked on other space things.
Dad built several valves for the shuttle.
That’s great!
The chicken is ready to cook, but we don’t want to turn it on until about noon, because the recipe says to cook it for 5 hours.
I like skirts and tops because I can have lots more outfits that way. 😁
More T-storms. We got wet going into Kroger, but it passed us in a hurry and now we’ve got the sound and light shows.
I was very grateful for the ride, but by the time I took care of business and we got back to the car, I was worn out.
Good morning! It looks like our weekend weather might be approaching Baghdad levels - something I do not miss. 🥵
I’m joining everyone on the four-track:

At least you have your things!
We need to pick something up at Hobby Lobby, but it will have to be done on the way to the library for Kathleen’s art class, because I’m not willing to drive to Matthews and back twice, with gas so expensive.
I guess I’m saving the planet, yay me.
I just order my Hobby Lobby stuff online because the stores are always so far away from me.
When I was telling my friend yesterday that I got delivery from Walmart, I got the feeling that it wasn’t the “right” thing to do. But then I explained the situation with CFIDS and the lack of a car and having to get rides with cranky people and she backed off. I don’t think she was being mean. I think she had just never thought about the reasons why someone would want to do it.
Well, it’s better than yesterday, and I consider myself lucky to be in an elite group. At least for today!
