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 afternoon and way to go!
Mine should have been a three, dang it. But I dorked it up by doing it while distracted and completely spaced out an obvious letter that I had already identified. LOL

Mine would have been 4/6 but I caught myself just in time. The pain is real!
Good job, though! 😀
Everything is fine. I mean, I guess it is: I haven’t seen Vlad or Frank. Camp is shorthanded tomorrow: I have drafted Patrick. After some negotiation, it was agreed he can help in the kitchen.
Patrick can have a mini-vacation! Good idea, though!
I just went out to get the mail and it was a worthless effort. I’d like to just take the whole day so far, line it up against the wall and shoot it.
Just more and more indications of the insidiousness of CFIDS. This is just not a good day. GAH!! 😖
I started with BASIC
It could be worse. You could have whatever Joe Biden has.
Joe “Sippy-Cup” Brandon has handlers to cover up, clean up or disguise his mistakes. I don’t even know I’ve made them at the time, but I have to own them when I do know. So, no thanks. I’ll take what I have. ;o]
A vacation from vacation ;-). It will be good for him. I’ll even let him drive himself, and then he can leave when the kitchen work is done and not have to ride with us to take Frank’s friend home.
That sounds like a good deal!
Has Patrick been working at Walmart long enough to earn a vacation? Wow. Time flies.
He has, but by “vacation” I meant he wasn’t scheduled to work tomorrow, anyway.
One of my favorite things! The other not so much.
Good morning! I’m fonder of dogs in the abstract than in real life. Yesterday at camp, there were two dogs - both looked like beagle-and-something - following me around in the morning. They left when they realized my backpack didn’t have food in it.
I don’t know why dogs think I like them. Maybe it’s because I say, “Good morning, dogs. How are you today?” instead of, “Get outta here, ya lousy mutts!”
Who is protecting whom?
Good morning.
I hope you slept well and that the third day of camp is uneventful as to things out of the norm.
Good morning. Not bad. My feet hurt, but I’ll live. I have pills!
I’ll be doing “Field Games” this morning and Crafts in the afternoon. Crafts is in the shade!
Your poor feet! But I’m glad you have pills!
Crafts in the shade is good!
Yesterday, I went out and stood in the shade for a few minutes and just soaked up the heat. Even having the thermostat at 78° is too cold.
I’ll take three in a row! Who knows when I may ever get another 3/6?

I eliminated all the vowels save one in the first two lines. I wish I could be as successful on other days.
