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!
Wordle is getting weird. That’s the only reason I was able to get it in four. I went with the recent wackiness. LOL

I used a totally inane word for my second one, just to eliminate letters.
Some days, that’s the only way I can find the solution.
I failed at Wordle today. I had 4 letters in the correct place and had 3 bites at the apple for the fifth letter. I needed one, maybe two more bites than I had.
I do the same thing. If my starter word doesn’t yield much, I throw a completely different word in the second row to find or eliminate letters. (As I did today.)
Are you feeling any better today?
I have days like that, too. Just one more line would have done it.
I’m feeling off and on today. Common with a relapse, but then, some days are worse than others. Thanks for asking, though! 💖
I am finding that the strategy of trying to figure out which of the possible words is most common used is no longer working all that well... it seems that the less frequently used words are the right choice...
🤷🏽♂️
Good Show!
👍🏻
I hope that you will be feeling better soon...
Thanks!
Unfortunately, everything about the disease is unpredictable, so all I can do is just hang on and let it have its way with me! Fighting it only makes it worse.
I came back then fell asleep. Nice time.
Good deal! A nap after an outing is always a win!
I was ‘eluded’ yesterday, and ran out of tries before I ran out of possible correct answers.
TODAY, however...
[OK. I get that it’s already ‘tomorrow’ for you, but it’s still ‘today’ for me.]
I guessed this 5-letter word in 3/6 tries.

Can you guess this word?

when I was in college I and my friends came up with a rule that it cannot be ‘tomorrow’ until one has slept 4hrs in a row. I had a few long ‘todays’ as a result. A corollary effect; one who never sleeps at least 4hrs can be said to “sleep like there’s no tomorrow.”
Good morning. Happy Friday Eve!
The reasonable temps will hold on for one more day, then heat. I guess we’ll just be glad for one more day.

Good morning. I hope you slept well.
Pill sorting day. Unngh.
Not bad. No cat! I turned off my alarm and slept in until 5:45.
Wow. Friday Eve already?
I don’t know how I did it, but I did it.

I turned off my alarm but only “slept” 30 minutes longer. Unngh.
