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.”

Your family is always so busy... it tires me just reading about your collective exploits...
I tried to go back in and nap, but the brain was having nothing to do with it. So now, it’s time to go take that shower and see if anyone notices it’s missing when I’m done.
Then on to Charlie’s letter, and take the trash out and wait for Walmart’s delivery.
(I’m so tired of being cold. I have to go out long about 1300 and warm up every day.)
Yeah, it’s a blur!
Sweet little floof this morning!
I hope your day at Camp it pleasant with no mishaps and that you’re able to keep fairly cool!
Good morning. Happy Friday.
Bonus kitteh today with a side of doggie. Thanks.
Everyone’s up early today. I feel like a slug. But on to the next ... whatever comes my way.

Better than yesterday’s but maybe not as good as tomorrow’s.
Still I haven’t died on the vine for a while, so that’s good!

And did I mention I love your tagline?
I’m still working on it...
...only a million to go!
Yeah — as the late Igor would say, “I’m working on my second million. I’ve given up on the first!”
You’re not getting a dollar from me, for sure! Tyson might, though, if he’s cute enough....
He’s plenty cute enough...
I haven’t seen any recent photos of him so I can’t speak to that.... *hint-hint*
Good morning! I got a couple of chores done early today because it’s supposed to get real HOT. All weekend.
Riding on the four train. It’s air-conditioned now.

Can it really be only 10:50 Eastern? I’m ready for 5:00
Good job!
I love the heat, but I can really do without the humidity.
I’m still trying to unpack, but its a work in progress. I’ve been here since October of last year, and feel like its a neverending story!
Today, I showered and wrote a letter and I think that’s about as good as it’s going to get! ;o]
:-D
Yep, when you’re a kid you can’t wait to grow up, but when you’re an adult you wish you were still a kid.
Then when you’re 90 (like my F-i-L will be soon) you could become a kid again, but it makes you mad.
F-i-L is on the warpath right now, and I think it’s because he’s realizing just how much help he needs, and he doesn’t like asking for it. So we’re the bad guys for being there to help.
