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.”

“Sooner or later” could be a very long time though....
I use one from a set of several words as starters.... depending on my mood at the time.... and how I think certain words have been ‘performing’ in recent days....
I will have to check, but I think that I only got a row one solution once.
If I could send the moisture your way, I would..... and you could keep it all... no need to send any snow in return.... but it would be okay if you did....
There’s a lot of running, a lot of music, a lot of fashion. He already knows some people, coworkers and their friends.
Sally is hanging around because the van she uses for work is being repaired. She’s taking my van for an oil change. I have a coupon.
I found out yesterday that a church friend has died. On Tuesday, we were told he was in the hospital for “tests,” and on Thursday, he died. My mother would say, “At least he didn’t linger,” but he was only 75.
“Rather nice” is a start.
Good morning. Glad to see you made it back safely.
A little harder for me!

Yes, he is in a fun area, no doubt about it! And if he has already made contacts, he should do quite well.
I have some cards to get out this morning (I keep saying that, but there always seems to be Something Else to do...) but the clothes have to be taken care of first. Not looking forward to that, but it is what it is!
Now, to get off my backside before the morning is gone! LOL!
I have some cards to get out, too.
Wow, ArGee…your start word was the word. That’s happened to a couple of my friends. I’ve never pulled that one off. Way to go!!
Happy Monday, all!

I checked, never got a one row solution... probably never will since I don’t use a fixed starter...
I don’t either. I have a few I use fairly regularly but I change ‘em up. If my start word bombs, I use a completely different word with different vowels and consonants on the second row.
One of my friends who did the one row win doesn’t use a fixed start word either. She just lucked out that day.
Good job, Girl!
Yep, Allegra, I think the best I can do is hope for three rows in this game. I don’t think it’s ever been less than three, but then, I haven’t played even 100 games, yet.
Me and my ADHD/dyslexic mind. This is going to be one of Those Days, I can see. The clothes are hanging to dry, and I wanted to find the manuals for a couple of items I want to donate, but that started me off and running in a completely different direction than CARDS! LOL!
:someone please help me:
:o])
According to this statistical pop-up I’ve done it once, today.
Indeed. And I think he was less nervous than young ArGee.
I got three cards done. Two were, “So sorry your (husband/son) died,” unfortunately.
I hope it turns out well for both of them.
My best has been a two try, most of them though, are fivers.
I hate the seveners, though! ;o])
Apparently the Slimes had 2 solutions again today. One of the words was, apparently, unacceptable for delicate ears.
I’m surprised they know the difference.
Some pants I bought for Kathleen are too big for here, so I’ll have to go back to Walmrt.
