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.”

Both boys go back about noon tomorrow, and they’ll be picked up midday on Sunday.
Ah. Yes. Thanks. My brems they don’t believe me.
Understand!
I seem to be worn out today, for some reason. (She says, incredulously.)
I should have rested yesterday, but sometimes, I just feel like I have to keep trying to get things done, especially since there’s no one else to do it but me. And no one to help.
People have offered, but I’m always worried about the mood swings that smack me in the middle of something, and I just don’t want to take a chance on hurting someone’s feelings.
So I tell them, “Thanks, but no.” :o|
And then I wonder if I did the right thing.

Wow three out of six!
Don’t remember ever doing that good before.
I don’t have nearly as much reason to be worn out. I hope I bounce back before more camp!
Good job, HTB!
Well, you’re hanging with the right crowd!
With all the heavyweights around here, the good stuff if bound to rub off on you!
I hope you just keep taking your naps. It seems your body needs them now more than ever.
Have a good night and I’ll see you in the morning!
This one is headed for bed. I killed another brown recluse in the bathroom today, so tomorrow, I need to go in and dispose of the corpses before someone finds out and the broom and Hot Shot are confiscated.
Way to go! 👏👏👏

Vlad found an unacceptable insect companion in the upstairs bathroom when he went to take a shower. He pretended that, “Shut up!” meant, “Tell me more about it,” and then laughed at me when I screamed.
Bros.
Spider, I hope.
Yes, I need another canister of diatomaceous earth and another can of Hot Shot. I’ve lived in better places, for sure.
I would scream, except in this small space, no one would hear me. Or care if they did.
Oh, yes... and a better broom.
TRICKY little scoundrel this evening nearly got away from me, but I hung in there to nail it.

Less weather insanity today; temperate mid-80’s of the F-O-Meter. Starting to look at some wainscoting and other mouldings for the house; at least down the main hall and around the entry where I’ve planned to replace the doors, hinges and latch sets. I’ve got a built-in linen cabinet and I’m thinking to match the top rail of the wainscoting with the counter edge so it’s all the same level up and down the hallway. MIGHT extend into the Dining Room, but I’m thinking to maybe take it in separate phases.

At first I’d thought mahogany doors, but I saw they had the same style in walnut, which I prefer:

The county finally processed my property transfer form, and cancelled the onerous supplemental assessment, so I’ve a bit of a windfall coming that should help the funding.
Now, then. Enough of my home improvement aspirations.
Let me leave you with something of worth. Some of you may know the tale; others may not, but I’d warrant none of you ‘s heard it recently, and all may well enjoy it, whether for the first time, or no.

Good morning. Happy Friday Eve!
F-I-L’s elbow was still swollen yesterday. Hopefully more Tylenol will take care of it. He’s no fun to take to the doctor.
