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.”

Sunday went well. I’m glad your laundry was accomplished, and I hope you have a successful nap!
Good morning. Happy Monday!
We have rain. The warm temps are supposed to break after the rain is done, but they’ll be back at the end of the week. Not 3 digits, Zz, but warm for here.
I’m still noodling on the wordle (or wordling in the noodle?). I’ll be back.
w00t!
More four.
If that isn’t the strangest looking rhyme.

Good morning. Congratulations on your Wordle success. I scrubbed the dryer filter. It was gunky.
Gunky filters are not welcome. Good job taking care of it.
I wasn’t sure I could pull this together, but I did. My heart was in my mouth for a minute!

Thanks!
I still have to hang the dainties, but I’m not doing all that well today.
The nap wasn’t long enough but I can sleep in tomorrow, so it’s all good. Maybe I can sleep some of the symptoms off.
FD and TG are officially in their new home and enjoying every minute of it. I have a housewarming gift that was going in the donation pile until I asked her if she wanted it. It won’t fit any of the boxes I have so I’m not sure how to send it to them. I’m guessing I’ll take it to UPS on the 6th, on my way home from the pain clinic.
It’s overcast today, and quite a bit cooler, and I’m not sure I like it. There’s no place to warm up!
Gunky dryer filters are hazardous to one’s health.
Wow! Two cards from NC in today’s mail! Woo-hoo!
Good Monday Morning!
Well, the forecast rain overnight turned out to be a bust...which is a sore disappointment... but there are no triple digit highs in the 10 day outlook... so there’s that... (and maybe some rain at the end of the week! 🤞🏻)...
After what I thought was a good start, happy to be on the four train:

We have zero precipitation in all 14 days of the 10 day forecast.
Heart and mouth are two good wordle words.
Start and happy are also good wordle words.
Good morning! Water fell out of the sky late last night and a little more is forecast for late this afternoon or early evening. And the forecast for the next several days only shows highs in two digits. So yay!
And posting up my second three in a row. Yes, the words lately have been a little odd.

My BFF uses “mouth” as one of her starter words.
Well, we will see if the 0.26” late Friday into Saturday pans out... I’m not making book on it...
😂
Ahh, so you were in one of the fortunate areas that actually saw some rain fall... we missed out...
😕
Good job on putting up consecutive three spots!
👍🏻
Not much rain fell, but we’ll take what we can get. And it was a nice sound for a few minutes. 😃
I hope you’ll see some later today or later this week.
