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 job, Girl!
(The Meezer helped you today, didn’t he?) ;o]
Oh. No. That will never work. It’s too logical and “homey.” He wouldn’t be caught dead with homeopathic remedies! The silly boy.
His mom, however, is a firm believer in clove oil. ;o]
Good job, Z! At least you didn’t bomb out!
This is true. And my belief is that it will be the older generation that saves our bacon this time around. Back when we fought for independence, it was the young men who did the fighting, barely out of their teens.
They don’t even teach gun handling in schools any more, so we can’t expect the metrosexuals to know which end is the business end.
The ones who will solve this problem are the ones who know it’s a problem.
Ash was such a good dog.
The Meezer and a cup of coffee helped. :)
LOL!
I can’t imagine you doing anything without the Meezer helping you. Or at least, supervising to make you do it properly!
Nothing like taking it down to the wire...
I finally got it in 6/6 tries.

Two letters wrong place in the first two, but got them in the right place on the third, then took three more guesses — I was about out of unused letters. I don’t know if there was another possibility remaining if I hadn’t succeeded with that last one.
He’s so cute. Every night before I go to bed, I give his litter box an extra scooping (if needed), refresh his water and top off his kibble.
He sits on the counter watching me to make sure I’m doing it right. When I’m done, he inspects everything. 😆
I did that yesterday. I had three letters in place by Row 3, but there were so many possibilities. Eliminated letters got me in on the last try. 😅
I’m so glad Jake is back! I think I read that he’d disappeared a couple of days ago?
As in a serial? I don’t know whether that would be cool or creepy.
Good job!
Yeah. I get it. Yesterday was like that for me, only it took me seven. ;o]
He’s actually checking to make sure you haven’t changed any ingredients. Waiting to see if you’ll make a mistake so he can pout and ignore you until you apologize profusely!
I love him and I haven’t even met him!
That’s funny, ArGee. The Wildlands seem to have done something to your funny bone.
I haven’t tried any of the On Beyond Zebra letters.
Of course, the NYT wouldn’t be able to use those because Dr. Seuss was cancelled because ... reasons.
Have fun in the wildlands! (Where are the wildlands?)
Well, I'd tell you but then ...
You know.
On row 4 I learned that there was a word that I never heard of... I threw it up there expecting to get “Word not in list” and it accepted it... I was trying for letter positions, and that part worked fine...
Figuring out the letter positions seems to be the hardest part for me!
My mother and sister play it, but I haven’t tried it yet. It seems like I’m the only person who isn’t doing Wordle.
