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.”

W00t!!!

I’m hoping he feels better soon, lawn or no lawn. There are other bros who know how to mow!

The door guys are here/were here, and there is such a difficulty trying to bridge the language gap. I know how to say a lot of things in Spanish but “wrong type of threshold” isn’t one of them.

I’m afraid to see what’s going to happen, now that they’ve let in all the flies. Perhaps, by the time the new door begins to sag on the hinges, I won’t have to worry about it. GAH!!

w00t!

Maybe you could get some pet frogs?

Speaking of which, when I came back from the laundry room on Monday early morning, there was a cute little toad about 2” long, just where the siding meets the grass by the door frame. I tried to convince him to stick around, but he was looking for something else. No flies at that hour of the day...

[Tax-chick]

It’s true that others could mow, but I already paid Vlad.

[Monkey Face]

Ah. Then I guess the grass can grow a little more...

;o]

The door has been replaced, but it needs a new door handle. Still, it took three men about 90 minutes and 30 flies to do the job.

I’ll see if FS can install a peephole for me.

[ArGee]

Ask him to get you one of these.

It’s 4:00 p.m. now, and he still hasn’t started mowing. Sigh.

I have a doorbell, and I don’t want anything more “smart” in my apartment. Alexa is bad enough.

Besides, he needs to do something else for his mom that he can complain about. I won’t be around forever, ya know! 🚚

[Monkey Face]

Oh, darn. Maybe you could suggest he give the money to one of his brothers since he doesn’t seem too enthusiastic about earning it. 😉

[Monkey Face]

That’s really good!!

‘Face

;o]

[Tax-chick]

He says it’s done now. It would have been a lot easier if he had done it four days ago, like I told him.

Also, he’d already spent the money ;-).

[Monkey Face]

Typical! LOL!

This is the same young man who wants a job? One with regular hours and a real paycheck?

Kids! Always surprising us, one way or the other! ;o])

They don’t change when they leave home, either.

[Tax-chick]

Or when they come back, sigh.
