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.”

It is a very addicting game... which is why I limit myself to one per day...
Yeah, I feel for you! Been there more times than I want to! But it wasn’t X/6, so good on ya! ;o]
I was able to keep the streak alive...
Happy Friday! It’s going to be a scorcher today.
I’m riding the four-train. It has air-conditioning.

What a beautiful kitteh!
Phew! You made it. I’ve done that quite a few times - hit it on that sixth try. Kind of holding your breath waiting for those tiles to all flip green. 😅
It’s a tough job, but somebody’s gotta do it.
The actual 4 train in NYC never had AC sufficient to keep up with us packed cattle.
This thing had to “update.” That took 45 minutes.
Then I decided I wanted to upload all the photos on my phone to my 3T slave and it looked like it was doing the reverse. I still want to upload them before I lose them. I just have to figure out how.
Anyway, good job, all of you! I love it when a plan comes together, even if it’s just at the last minute!
I avoid the NYT version, simply because I do not want to give the Slimes any clicks.
The Icelandic version is at https://wordle.is/play/
Yes, and you are probably the better for it! I’m too weak! LOL!
The Icelandic version is the same puzzle but 10-14 days behind. Allegra and I both checked it, because we had been doing both. So you’re doing the original, just a few days later.
I always play a random puzzle, or two, or three, or ten...
Yes, very suspenseful... but I was also thinking: “If this isn’t it, then I deserve to end the streak...”
LOL!! SUCH an addictive game! ;o]
And I thought falling back only 1 hour was a pain.
This morning I wandered into my son’s room. Having spent the night with Tyson-who-is-not-allowed-on-the-furniture in his room he was a little, how shall I say it? green around the gills.
I told him I wanted to measure how tall Tyson-who-is-not-allowed-on-the-furniture is at the shoulder.
Thinking he just might, might be being set up, but not how, nor how to avoid it, he asked, “Why?”
“I want to know the Gas Hund height.”
He ordered me to leave his room...
Oh, that’s priceless, Nully! LOL!!!
Some of us just don’t know how good we’ve got it, eh? ;o]
Y’know I’ve been to the edge.
And there I stood and looked down
Y’know I lost a lotta friends there, Baby
I got no time ta mess around...
