Pieces of ‘fireball’ meteor that exploded over Mississippi are being found, NASA says

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.”

There was a thing about what fireworks did to animals and people with PTSD on Facebook yesterday. It’s amazingly frightening. If I can find it I’ll send the link.

Please send me a copy. Tyson-who-is-not-allowed-on-the-furniture probably has PTSD, and showed up shortly after the 4^th last year.

She says it’s going to be fun and games, but that’s a matter of personal opinion — hers. I’ll just sit in a comfy chair and watch, and hopefully eat a hotdog. Then ask for someone to bring me home.

My grandson and his wife gave me frog earrings for my birthday, so I’ll make it a point to wear them. THAT will be my fun! 😜

[Monkey Face]

I’ve been looking for it, and as soon as I find it I’ll ping you!

You can’t NOT have fun with frog earrings! 😃

You also might want to get Tyson-who-is-not-allowed-on-the-furniture a “thunder shirt.” They work wonders! I hope it’s not too late for tomorrow’s noises that may take place tonight as well. Maybe a store in your area has some in his size. It’s always a good investment!

Otherwise, Amazon and eBay have them.

That was quick. Can’t read without joining facebook, but I have enough info to find an alternate source.

I just sent you another ping on Facebook. Just an FYI. 💖 For Tyson, of course!

Of course. Hasn’t hit my in box yet.

Still no email.

[Monkey Face]

Sorry. I was putting my makeup on.

I just sent it.

Got the ace bandage thunder shirt, oddly enough I just found a wide ace bandage last week.

Makeup? You really don’t need it.

[Monkey Face]

Ohmygosh! Thanks, Nully! You made my day! 💖 💖

Well, you don’t!

Jake is lying around being old and fat, and complaining that it’s hot and we’re not giving him all the meat.

I cut the zucchini up, bake them with Badia Complete Seasoning and minced garlic, and eat them. For lunch, I added some leftover pasta sauce with sausage. My other family members aren’t very good at eating the leftovers!

[Monkey Face]

You’re only saying that because you haven’t seen me since I lost that 60 lubs! But I appreciate your comment and will have to say that you still have good taste! ;o]
